My plan was to create a USB recovery and installation sort of thing.
Mainly having multiple partitions for various windows installer, arch installer, memtest etc...
One USB to rule them all.
What I did is:
i created a GPT usb device and partitioned it like this and created the Filesystems (lsblk -f)
NAME FSTYPE FSVER LABEL UUID FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINTS
sda
├─sda1 vfat FAT32 BOOT 0AA3-6CCB
├─sda2 vfat FAT32 ARCH 1663-1ABF
├─sda3 vfat FAT32 WIN10 0B2D-373B
└─sda4 vfat FAT32 WIN11 0B57-D886
- ARCH Partition has the arch iso copied to
- WIN10 and WIN11 have their iso copied to
the idea was to have a BOOT partition where grub is installed to and it can load the bootloaders/efi's from the other partitions
i have grub installed on sda1 and when i boot it i get a grub commandline.
now the question is how do i configure grub.cfg properly to load the other partition bootloaders?
i've tried around a bit exploring with ls the hd1,gptX paritions and then load everything manually somehting like that
insmod fat
set root=hd1,gpt3
chainloader /bootmgr.efi
but that did not work...
any suggestions or is my approach wrong/bad ?

That is never going to work right. Grub can load ISOs directly, or use something like Ventoy (currently broken with Arch, I believe).

oh so i should just copy the iso's onto my grub partition and create menu entries to load the iso instead ?
edit: got it to run the way i wanted it with partitions
