[syslinux] Will be possible with syslinux efi support (6.0) chainload the memdisk and load a DOS Floppy image?
Hello, I'm investigating ways to boot a DOS floppy image stored on the FAT32 EFI System Partition using Syslinux and Memdisk. The system will be running Win8 using UEFI mode (GPT disks) and secure boot off. Change the Windows efi boot loader is the easy part... With the current syslinux's alpha version (6.0), is it possible to boot the syslinux's efi module from the FAT32 EFI System Partition and chainload memdisk to load a DOS floppy image? All files will be stored at EFI System Partition. If this have a chance to work, I will grab the source and try to build it because I cannot find pre-compiled versions of the 6 alpha version. Thank you in advance, Leandro
