...Is there a way to chainload syslinux residing on a plugged in usb stick from boot.ini? I've seen instructions for how to do this for OSs on alternate partitions of the bootdrive but not on separate drives. The following doesn't seem to work: E:\usboot.bs="USB Boot" where usbboot.bs is the 512 byte syslinux boot sector from the usb stick (saved onto the usb stick with dd). Any help would be appreciated. Thx, Bill

...ugs BIOS bug in isolinux....) I think that next frontier for syslinux should be USB booting: it already works, but here also there are a lot of BIOS problem that a bootloader can help to circumvent... For excample, the spb2_mbr.sec (distributed woth SPBLinux, look at http://home.tele2.ch/spblinux/usbboot.zip) can help circumvent USB geometry BIOS bugs... This is probably code that could be included in syslinux, and that will make happy a lot of users... I'd like some comments, bye! Paolo

Hi Ian, I try compile the bootwrapper for cubieboard2 like this: joshzhao@joshzhao-ThinkCentre-M58p:~/project/Xen/A20/boot-wrapper$ make cubieboard2_defconfig CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- # # configuration written to .config # joshzhao@joshzhao-ThinkCentre-M58p:~/project/Xen/A20/boot-wrapper$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make -C scripts/kconfig -f Makefile.bootwrapper
