Hi,

Problem is that when there're any non dos/windows partitions the boot from
recovery partition failed. So, I need to set recovery partition bootable and
remove all other partitions including /boot with GRUB configuration - and when
the /boot is removed then there's not possible to use GRUB, because of the
grub.conf, and that's why I need to set recovery partition bootable without GRUB.

Thanks a lot
