I tried to use GRUB to boot SmartBootManager before. Mine is the 18k version of sbm.bin, but the computer just doesn't recognize it~~~ I heard there is a 1.44M version of sbm.bin... Please help, thanks in advance to all of you I just can't figure out how to compile those source codes on sourceforge.net~~~ So, I'm asking all the adults here

SBM is a good software, but it hasn't been developed for many years. The 18K sbm.bin and 1.44M sbm.bin you find on the market should be different manifestations of the same file. They all seem to be 1.44M floppy disk images, except that the 18K one omits all the trailing 00 bytes. You can use the map command of grub4dos to simulate sbm.bin as a floppy disk and boot it. Please search for these materials on Google. If you only need the cdrom boot function in sbm.bin, then you don't need sbm.bin, but can use the cdrom boot function of grub4dos instead. The cdrom boot function of grub4dos is from SBM, so they should be equivalent. If you find that the disc boot module of SBM is not suitable for your hardware, you can also use several other similar software instead. They are all floppy disk images and can be simulated and booted by grub4dos, but they may not be open source (also find them on Google). As far as I know, only SBM is open source.

Thanks a lot!!! But, I still want to ask Mr. Budian, for example, which several kinds of floppy disk images are there?

They are all floppy disk images, and can all be emulated and started by grub4dos, but they may not be open source (also find them on google). As far as I know, only sbm is open source.

There should be quite a few of these, but I don't know much about them myself. It seems I remember one called bcdl. Search in http://www.google.cn/ and you should be able to trace them step by step to find them.

Usage example of bcdl.bin: title Boot From CDROM find --set-root --ignore-floppies /ggho/grub/bcdl.bin map --mem /ggho/grub/bcdl.bin (fd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 rootnoverify (fd0) Attachments bcdl.rar (9.13 KiB)
