Err: "Missing OS" Using altMBR.bin
...=-=-
My working & booting syslinux 3.80 setup, pre altmbr:
MBR: from syslinux 3.80
ldlinux.sys: from syslinux 3.80
hda1 - 24G - [0c] - FAT32 - WinXP (Encrypted via TrueCrypt)
hda2 - 53G - [0f] - Extended
hda5 - 0.5G - [06] - [boot] FAT16, boots syslinux menu
hda6+ --- Various_Other_Partitions, none with [boot] active ---
AltMBR Purpose: I want to employ the altmbr to have hda5 always be the
boot partition that syslinux loads from, in a setup where hda5 will
*not* have the boot flag set, but hda1 *will*.
So to test altmbr I:
- boot into linux and do: dd if=altmbr.bin of=/dev/hda...

[How-To?] Using Syslinux AltMBR + TrueCrypt System Encryption (RFE: swap drive ID's)
...esting/syslinux-3.81-pre13.zip
Background:
I started with a 'normal' multi-OS boot setup as follows:
MBR - syslinux
hda1 - 24G - [0c] - FAT32 - WinXP (Encrypted via TrueCrypt)
hda2 - 53G - [0f] - Extended
hda5 - 0.5G - [06] - [boot] FAT16, boots syslinux menu
hda6+ --- Various_Other_Partitions, none with [boot] active ---
All was booting & working fine but I wanted to encrypt the WinXP boot
partition (hda1) with TC.
Doing so would entail:
- TC replacing the MBR boot code with its own boot loader
- TC filling in some sectors immediately following the boot (MBR) sector
with TC&...
