Hello.
I'm testing version 4.06-pre5.
Using the CONFIG + APPEND directive with RELATIVE paths and changing the base
directory is sometimes failing.
Booting with ISOLINUX is OK but SYSLINUX is not.
To demonstrate an example, I have uploaded a little 7z archive containing:
_ a little ISO image;
_ a 1440KiB floppy image.
Both images have the same directory tree and cfg files. The only difference is
the respective boot loader.
My test:
1_ Boot the ISO image in a VM.
2_ First menu ; press "enter"
3_ Second menu ; press "enter"
4_ Third menu ; press "enter"
5_ Note the exact PWD.
6_ Repeat previous steps for the floppy image.
The resulting final working directory for the ISO image is the correct one
(equivalent to "/" ); but for the floppy (SYSLINUX) the final working
directory doesn't match the expected final working directory (according to
the APPENDs in the cfg files).
I also tested other directory trees without using menu.c32 and the result was
the same: ISOLINUX works OK, SYSLINUX doesn't.
BTW, version 4.05 is also failing in the exact same way.
