The suggested method (described by Alver) is based on that description

1. Kolibri can write only on FAT filesystem, so if image file is placed not linux16 (hd[Hard disk number],[partition number])[path]/memdisk

2. This method requires the file 'memdisk' from the package 'syslinux'

La prima variante era:
label KolibriOS
root (hd[numero disco fisso],[numero partizione])
kernel [percorso]/memdisk
initrd [percorso]/kolibri.img
In questo caso 'memdisk' e 'kolibri.img' devono essere sulla
stessa partizione.
Esempio:
label KolibriOS
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/memdisk
initrd /boot/kolibri.img
Con questa variante, descritta nel forum, KolibriOS è posizionato
nella cartella di boot di GN/Linux, quindi non si trova su una
partizione FAT32 e non sarà in grado di salvare eventuali modifiche.
5) I comandi descritti precedentemente potrebbero non funzionare con
GRUB2, (testato da Apocalypse_dn), in tal caso sostituire "linux16" e

then, run in terminal 'sudo update-grub'.
b) For old GRUB, add to the configuration file 'menu.lst' next lines:
title KolibriOS title KolibriOS
kernel (hd[Hard disk number],[partition number])[path]/memdisk kernel (hd[Hard disk number],[partition number])[path]/memdisk
initrd (hd[Hard disk number],[partition number])[path]/kolibri.img initrd (hd[Hard disk number],[partition number])[path]/kolibri.img
(Remember that numeration of partitions in GRUB starts from 0.) Remember that numeration in GRUB starts from 0. Example:
Example:
title KolibriOS title KolibriOS
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/memdisk kernel (hd0,0)/boot/memdisk
initrd (hd0,3)/kolibri/kolibri.img initrd (hd0,3)/kolibri/kolibri.img
The initial variant was:
label KolibriOS
root (hd[Hard disk number],[partition number])
kernel [path]/memdisk
initrd [path]/kolibri.img
Here 'memdisk' and 'kolibri.img' must be placed on the same partition.
Example:
label KolibriOS
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/memdisk
initrd /boot/kolibri.img
This example is the variant described on english forum, with install to
Linux boot partition (of course, without FAT partition).
5) The previous method could not work as is in GRUB2 (tested by Apocalypse_dn),
the commands "linux16" and "initrd16" should be used instead of "kernel"
and "initrd" (suggested by vkos).
