As per the example given in the Documentation i was wondering what the limitations are with refind... I tried to boot a few different kinds of things with no avail...
What kind of loaders can we use? I tried using memdisk and booting an iso with no luck maybe someone has an idea these are some things that i tried --
rEFInd can launch EFI applications. It's not clear what the memdisk tool is, but the filename, at least, doesn't look like an EFI application, since those normally have filename extensions of .efi. (The Linux kernel can be an exception to this rule, though -- but it's non-standard in that respect.)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
thanks for the quick response i will have to do some research and see if i can make anything work the way i want them to. i'll post back if i find something.

menuentry "ISO" {
loader \EFI\tools\memdisk
initrd \EFI\ISO\whatever.iso
}
menuentry "ISO2" {
loader \EFI\tools\memdisk iso
initrd \EFI\ISO\whatever.iso
}
menuentry "ISO3" {
loader \EFI\tools\memdisk
options iso initrd=\EFI\ISO\whatever.iso
}
As you can see I'm pulling at straws here...
I also tried running syslinux from a folder from the Mac HD with no avail... can you not run a kernel natively like one could in syslinux?
How does one load a different kernel or boot into a different kernel what am i missing?
