I have just released SYSLINUX 3.00-pre9. The only change versus 3.00-pre8 is that the MEMDISK query API now reports the boot loader ID byte, per Bernd's suggestion. This is a release candidate, and I plan to release it as 3.00 *tomorrow*, unless I hear back anything bad. -hpa

...o DOS, then after running syslinux, "boot dos.bs" works. ("bss dos.bs" works too; "com32 chain.c32 boot file=dos.bs" works with a warning about mapping; "com32 chain.c32 boot msdos7=dos.bs" do not work.) The dos.bs file is saved by HxD. I tried to get one by copybs.com, but failed with the message:"Error:Filesystem not found on disk" (missing a Blank after "File"). Maybe it only supports floppy disk. So basically the problem is solved, although I think there are some bugs or improvements in the copybs and boot sector handling (I thought...

Hi all, I have just released syslinux-3.70-pre25. Unless someone has something big and scary that either I have managed to miss or was just stumbled over, I'm going to release 3.70 final some time between tomorrow and Monday. Thus, *please holler now* if there are any stop-ship problems still known... -hpa

Hi, I've made several attempts to boot syslinux from the harddisk. I have a win 98 startdiskette with syslinux and copybs. I strictly follow the procedure in the syslinux documentation. Yet, the result of the boot is not that linux is starting. Instead, the Microsoft windows screen flashes for a couple of seconds and is then replaced by a Dos prompt. Syslinux is V2.04. The PC is an IBM Aptiva 486 DX2 I've also t...

(FreeDOS SYS 3.8pre works: SYS H: /GETBS H:\_ISO\SYSLINUX\NTFS.BSS). * pre5: chain.c32 doesn't work for Windows 8 BCD, not tested pre11 * bootsector chaining does work ( kernel /_iso/syslinux/ntfs.bss) Is there any solution available to fixing 1 or more of the above items?

Does anyone know how to install the gptmbr.bin onto a USB drive with Windows? I noticed that it would be really easy to modify the source of the installer to install gptmbr.bin instead of mbr.bin with the -m flag, but I'd like a solution that doesn't require me to maintain my own custom syslinux. I'm open to writing and submitting a patch to add a new flag (say -g) to install

If I enter dos at the boot: prompt a '.' appears a line below and then below that the SYSLINUX copyright information reappears and the boot: prompt again. Any ideas?

...properly. Welcome to an opensource BIOS :) To promote a FreeDOS component a bit more: the SYS program, also maintained by that same member, is able to transfer system files for all major DOS, and also create a GPL bootsector for it (except Win9x), and additionally it also has the abilities of the COPYBS program in Syslinux package (dump/restore bootsector) now that I've learned that Syslinux installation files are contained in just a single binary (syslinux.exe/com), it's even easier to create multiboot systems. a DIFF for the SBM from 'program' --> 'c32 module' is al...
