the only entry i found is this

menuentry "GhostBsd" {
  set isofile=/home/joey/Downloads/GhostBSD3.1-gnome2-amd64.iso
  loopback loop $isofile
  kfreebsd (loop)/boot/kernel/kernel
  kfreebsd_module (loop)/boot/mfsroot.gz type=mfs_root
  set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/md0
}

Well, that's quite clear then.

I suggest you mount the ISO, have a look inside the /boot folder inside the ISO, work out what is used to boot the kernel and tweak the GRUB2 entry to fit.

Same error, or different error?

Re: boot ghostbsd iso from grub entry

kernel booted correctly but i've got a loop

waiting 10 second 
waiting 30 second 
so on ...

i think its something wrong with the bsd kernel parameters or bsd kernel cant simulate iso file
