Thank you for your prompt reply. Using only one partition solved the problem. The OS loads nicely.
However, is it possible to use a journaling file system like ext4 instead of ext2?
I tried altering format-cf.sh and use mkfs.ext4 instead of mkfs.ext2 and again, the grub> command prompt appears.

The reason I prefer ext4 is to avoid inode reference problems after sudden power-offs. Do you think that ext2 along with the read-only mounting is enough? If so, after I shrink the main ext2 partition, can I make an ext4 partition in the remaining space? I need read-write access to the second partition.

Regards,
Kostas Birkos
