Whilst looking at the 3.61 isolinux.asm file I noticed that the code uses a spec buffer size of 13h for the initial BIOS call with the drive number passed in in DL. It then uses a spec buffer size of 13 when scanning drive numbers from FFh to 81h Line 291 is mov byte [spec_packet],13h Lines 576 to 577 are mov si,spec_packet mov byte [si],13

Hi, I've made some (small) changes to your isolinux 1.67 to support loading of .bin files. For example to load NT cdrom bootsectors, or other raw loaders... Size is fixed to 1 sector (2KB). Extension must be ".bin". Loading address is fixed to (default) 0x0:0x7c00. All my changes are marked between tags: <bart>...</bart> Just thought I'd send it to you do with it

I hope I've understand that all, somebody wants to create a floppy-image larger than 2.88MB an use it with memdisk? I have modified a tool from Bart Lagerweij (Big thanks!) and can create Floppy-Images with 5760kB and 8100kB, and boot them with ISOLINUX and MEMDISK (or also with a modified DISKEM1X.BIN), is this what you mean? These tools must run under windows, but booting no problem.

Hi Peter, You did a great job on the isolinux and memdisk tools.. I can know, I've also written a CD-Rom disk emulator, only it's slow (read from the CD) uses 22KB conventional memory (mainly cache) and the emulated floppy image cannot be written to. http://www.nu2.nu/diskemu/ You're memdisk is fast, small conventional memory footprint and the emulated drive is writeable, very,

Hello everyone, I'd like to introduce a program I've made called Boot Scriptor. To quote the website, "Boot Scriptor is a program that allows a high degree of interactivity when booting from a CD-ROM drive. It provides a set of commands designed to enable users to boot a system in a number of ways, as well as provide interactive menus to choose boot options from. More

Hi, I've coded loading NT cdrom bootsector into isolinux 1.68 myself (http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#multimemdisk) and I now see you have included it in isolinux 1.73 and higher. Great!!! I tried it using isolinux 1.74 and 1.75pre2, but I cannot get it to work. It says: -- Loading Invalid or corrupt kernel image. -- I use the file extension ".bin" as I see in the isolinux.asm source,

hi: we can create big floopy image under linux. just use mtools. i edit /etc/mtools.conf, then use dd to create a emtpy image, then use mformat to format the image and make it bootable. i now use a 20MB floppy image with memdisk.

Syslinux 3.84 has been released. This is a mixed minor new features/minor bug fixes release. Changes in 3.84: * SYSLINUX: make the DOS installer work for MS-DOS 7.x/8.x (Win9x/ME) again. * HDT: updated to version 0.3.6 (numerous changes.) * mboot.c32: now supports video mode setting if requested by the image. * MEMDISK: Fix floppy images of

Hi! At first thanks for your great work! I started to make multiboot CDs 1,5 years ago, with Bart Lagerweij 's utils. I have a problem with the memtest86 floppy image, made by the authors in the .zip file, downloadable from it's homepage, when I use diskemu. Some days ago I found on Bart's page a new method to select boot images on CD with syslinux/isolinux/memdisk. I thought this is
