I'm trying to boot KNOPPIX to RAM from the grub prompt.

Booting using

grub> set root=(cd1)
grub> linux /boot/isolinux/linux lang=en
grub> initrd /boot/isolinux/minirt.gz
grub> boot

works just fine, but adding the toram parameter causes it to get stuck after pressing Enter on boot.

I've seen this question where the poster uses loopback loop /boot/iso/knoppix.iso and bootfrom=.../boot/iso/knoppix.iso. I've tried adding both using /KNOPPIX/bootonly.iso, which is the only .iso file I was able to find on the CD, neither of which helped.

I know I should be able to boot the OS to ram from grub as I've done this with other distros. Is there something I'm missing?
