As the title says..
I use Grub (version 0.4.2) to boot, and want to make something similar to矮人DOS (much weaker in function)..
But I don't know how to load the CD image with GRUB... I can only load floppy images like *.ima, and the maximum can't exceed 1.44M... It's really troublesome..
How should I do it? Please tell me the specific meaning of the command if possible.. Thank you!:(

grub4dos can support the emulation of floppy disks and hard disk images of any size. However, it currently does not support the emulation of ISO files.
OK~~ Then may I ask, if I want to load a hard disk image of any size (I don't know what format it is? GHO??), then specifically what should I do??

GRUB supports hard disk and floppy disk images, both in sector-by-sector copy format IMG images. I'm not very familiar with tools under Windows, but I seem to remember that WinImage has this function, which can make a sector-by-sector copy of an entire hard disk or a partition.
Take a look at the readme of GRUB4DOS to learn about the boot methods of virtual floppy disks and virtual hard disks.
