    Kali-live on 2nd partition of external USB-hdd

    Good evening 2 all.
    I have exteranl USB HDD 240 gb, use it as "boot-flash" - for installing anything. Formatted as NTFS.
    Kali not started, throws kernel panic.

    I made 2nd partition FAT32, put Kali there. If this partition active (for boot) - sys linux starting, kali works exellent.
    But i need start all time from NTFS partition and only sometimes boot kali from FAT32.

    I try:
    Code:
    COM32 chain.c32
    APPEND hd0 2
    and similar.

    also add
    Code:
    append root=/dev/sda2 ro quiet
    to
    Code:
    label live-686-pae
    	menu label ^Live (686-pae)
    	menu default
    	linux /multiboot/kali-linux-1.0.9-i386/live/vmlinuz
    	initrd /multiboot/kali-linux-1.0.9-i386/live/initrd.img
    	append root=/dev/sda2 ro quiet live-media-path=/multiboot/kali-linux-1.0.9-i386/live cdrom-detect/try-usb=true noprompt boot=live noconfig=sudo username=root hostname=kali
    but kali anyway starting from NTFS (with kernel panic).

    Please, give me the way to solve my problem.

    solved by starting grub, who starts syslinux from 2nd partititon.
    not so good, but it works.
