syslinux write intended bootsector to bootsectorfile support?
...+, so I need another bootloader (called MetaKern) before SYSLINUX. That other bootloader requires that I append bootsectors of the OSs I want to load: 1) Syslinux and 2) FreeDOS. Currently I do: SYSLINUX A: // write both LDLINUX.BIN and Syslinux bootsector to A: COPYBS A: A:\SYSLINUX.BIN // obtain bootsectorfile from Syslinux bootsector COPY /B METAKERN.BIN + SYSLINUX.BIN + FREEDOS.BIN A:\METAKERN.SYS //bootloader SYS A: A: BOOTONLY /K METAKERN.SYS // point bootsector kernel string to menu DEL A:\SYSLINUX.BIN //get rid of the bootsector again, it's now in MetaKern. So it would perhaps be a nice additi...

SYSLINUX 3.00-pre8: Let's try this release thing again
Okay, spending the time to dot t's and cross i's (or something like that), I think I have something now that can be called 3.00-worthy, so let's call it a release candidate. Changes over the earlier 3.00 prereleases: - -m and -a options now supported by the DOS installer. - PXELINUX now allows IP addresses, FQDNs, and truncated hostnames when specifying an alternate TFTP server

I don't have the sourcecode of this latest work-around version available, so can't let you have a look at it. Any possibility for the 'write to bootsectorfile' in a 2.13 series SYSLINUX? Bernd here's a part of the mail: " hard-disks (item C above), I believe the Isolinux bootloader may NOT be setting the DPTE pointer to all-ones if DPTE data in fact IS NOT present, i.e. for the CD-ROM! In his first E-Mail, your friend says "examine...

multi-boot CD question
Hello everyone, I am attempting to add another boot option to our multi-boot technical resource CD where I work. I currently have 8 working floppy disk images, but this time I need to add a piece of software which I only have access to through an ISO image. This ISO image, when burned to a CD, boots and runs the software fine. I know that isolinux does not support booting ISO images. I used
