# Example:
#
# Let's say Fedora ISO file is located at ~/fedora.iso
# Then the following will generate a patched ramdisk which we will use
# later to boot from ISO (run as root or sudo):
# 
# $ ./fedora-fromiso ~/fedora.iso ~/initrd-fromiso
#
# Let's also assume the following layout of your final boot media:
#
# /
# /fedora.iso
# /initrd-fromiso (generated by this script earlier)
#
# Then the following grub2 menu entry will boot DSL from the ISO file:
#
# menuentry "Fedora Live" {
#   loopback loop /fedora.iso
#   linux (loop)/isolinux/vmlinuz0 root=live:/fedora.iso rootfstype=auto ro liveimg quiet rhgb rd.luks=0 rd.md=0
#   initrd /initrd-fromiso
# }

# Parse command line arguments

ISOPATH="$1"
OUTPATH="$2"
if [ -z "$ISOPATH" ]; then
  echo "Usage $0: <iso-path> [<out>]"
  exit 1
fi

# Mount ISO and extract initrd

ISOMNT=$(mktemp -d /tmp/tmpXXXXXX)
if sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop "$ISOPATH" "$ISOMNT"
then

TMPHOLD=$(mktemp -d /tmp/tmpXXXXXX)
gzip -d < "$ISOMNT"/isolinux/initrd0.img > "$TMPHOLD"/initrd
sudo umount "$ISOMNT"

INITDIR=$(mktemp -d /tmp/tmpXXXXXX)
(cd $INITDIR; cpio -id < "$TMPHOLD"/initrd 2>/dev/null) # Silence /dev errors

# Patch relevant files to handle live:/*.iso boot parameter

patch -d "$INITDIR" -p1 <<"EOF"
