I've tried the wiki, but nothing specific, and I've tried variations on grub2 (BIOS) entries found around the web to get a clonezilla live iso at boot, but I'm drawing a blank.
If I use the entries from the clonezilla website, I get an error informing me I need to load the kernel first.
I did try modifying at boot, and made it past that error to get one telling me it can't find intiramfs.
Is there a failsafe way to boot a clonezilla iso via grub2 on Arch, using BIOS.
I know it can be done, I used to have it working, but since then, I was using burg (without the clonezilla boot) for a couple of years, and have recently gone back to grub2, but I'm drawing a blank.
I had a look specifically at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mu … _USB_drive and http://clonezilla.org/livehd.php but neither are giving me a result.
If you need more info, tell me what. If I've failed to find something obvious, please also tell me. After three hours, I'm out of ideas.

No idea about "clonezilla", but to boot an iso see http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=MEMDISK

memdisk is promising, but the hoops you have to jump through mean it's not the answer.
Previously, however I managed it, was just a standard grub2 entry, and that's what I want. I'm not scared of directly editing grub.cfg. It's the entries I need to know.

Thank you, but...
I thought I'd tested that, but gave it another go. Still getting the message telling me I need to load the kernel first (Loop doesn't seem to be available when it tries to load).

How about...
menuentry "clonezilla" {
set isofile="/path/to/clonezilla.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,4)$isofile
linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz boot=live components config findiso=$isofile ip=frommedia toram=filesystem.squashfs union=overlay username=user
initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img
}
Obviously editing the isofile and loop addresses for your system.
