Title: Chainloading a bootloader from PLOP
Post by: jlums on September 19, 2011, 22:52:11 PM
I'm trying to do the following:

UFD > GRUB4DOS > PLOP > WinPE (Chainload /bootmgr)


Is it possible to have PLOP load a specific Chainloader after loading USB Drivers, rather than going back to the USB bootloader (Grub4dos)?

After USB Driver is loaded, I lose USB keyboard support. PS/2 Keyboards are not an option. The only current workaround I can think of is to set WinPE as default in Grub4dos. However, I'd really perfer to not have it set as the default.

Thanks Elmar. I saw that you mentioned in another post that you are working on a driver that includes USB keyboard support, any rough guesses as to when it will be available?
