[syslinux] syslinux 2.10 - boot floppy forgets the boot parameters
Hi, I suspect this bug has already been reported, but here it is just in case: the bootable floppies I produced with syslinux 2.10 (just by running 'syslinux /dev/fd0') are not able to 'remember' the parameters I pass at the boot prompt. Namely, to boot a USB pen from one of my floppies I pass something like boot: MoviX MEDIA=usb (where MoviX is the boot label) but the usb boot fails and there's no trace of the 'MEDIA' parm from the 'emergency' prompt I get. If I run syslinux 2.08 on the very same floppy, then everything works fine. If you need more details or a bugged image just let me know. Bye, Roberto
