The following is a tutorial on adding Backtrack 3 to Katana:

1) Download bt3final_usb.iso from www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack_download.html

2) Extract the ISO into a local directory on your system

3) On your Katana Drive, create the file bt3.cfg in the /boot/menu directory. (This is the menu for Backtrack 3.) Open bt3.cfg in a text editor and copy and past the following into it:

4) Create a directory called bt3 in the /boot/syslinux directory on the Katana Drive. From the extracted Backtrack 3 ISO directory, copy the content of the /boot directory into the newly created /boot/syslinux/bt3 directory on the Katana Drive. This adds all the files need by Backtrack 3 to boot.

5) Copy the /bt3 directory in the root of the extracted Backtrack 3 ISO directory to the root of the Katana Drive (This is the folder which contains the Backtrack 3 Operating System)

6) Finally, on the Katana Drive; open /boot/menus/main.cfg in a text editor and add the following to the end of the file. This will add Backtrack 3 to the main boot menu

Code: Select all
LABEL BT3
MENU LABEL Backtrack 3
KERNEL /boot/vesamenu.c32
APPEND /boot/menus/bt3.cfg

TEXT HELP
                      More about currently selected:

                      Backtrack 3 is one of the best
                      known pen-testings tools around.
ENDTEXT

You should now be able to boot Backtrack 3 from Katana.
