Syslinux - Jun 2010 - [PATCH] chain.c32: pass partition number to stage2 of Grub Legacy

Grub Legacy stage2 will read the install_partition variable from
memory address 0x8208.
We only need to change the value at 0x820a to the correct partition
number:
  -1:   whole drive (default)
  0-3:  primary partitions
  4-*:  logical partitions
