I fully agree with Phill! I personally like to use zsync, as it
does the checksum match automatically for you.<br>
Verify the ISO is correctly downloaded, and then once you have
verified it...<br>
<br>
You will need to set the root partition to your specific device<br>
grub supports TAB completion, so use it:<br>
set root=<b><TAB></b><b><TAB></b><br>
You will see a list of items<br>
pick the device that looks correct<br>
something like hd0,msdos1<br>
i.e.<br>
set root=(hd0,1)<br>
<br>
linux <b><TAB><TAB><br>
</b>(I'm using Xenial.. so your kernel will be much different)<br>
you will need to add the root device to this line as well<br>
hd0,1 will be /dev/sda1<br>
hd1,1 will be /dev/sdb1<br>
and so on<br>
<br>
i.e. linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-16-generic root=/dev/sda1<br>
<br>
next you need the initial ram disk file<br>
initrd <b><TAB><TAB></b><br>
i.e. initrd /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-16-generic<br>
<br>
and for anyone curious about vmlinuz,<br>
vm means virtual memory, and linu = linux the 'z' stands for the
compression (not sure if which one is used).<br>
in a nutshell your process should look something like<br>
<br>
<br>
set root=(hd0,1)<br>
linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-16-generic root=/dev/sda1<br>
initrd /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-16-generic<br>
boot<br>
<br>
