Which seems logical if you boot a kernel (like Linux, or Memdisk with an imagefile), but not when doing a local boot (diskette/harddisk) In other words: boot from cdrom, and if you then load a disk-image, eltorito.sys should load.

I'm running into an issue which I didn't expect to encounter. When specifying the "nopassany" parameter to hide physical drives, I'm getting different output from ELTORITO.SYS (v1.5, syslinux distro) such that it fails. My intent is a LiveCD functionality with a DOS RAMDISK program taking over as drive C:, meaning either no FAT partitions on harddisks and removable disks

I would like to implement a replacement MSCDEX driver (based on the replacement in FreeDOS SHSUCDX http://johnson.tmfc.net/freedos/shsucdx.html and SYSLINUX) however instead of talking to disk BIOS calls or PATA chipset I would like it to talk to the NDIS driver and act as a TFTP client simply forfulling application get block requests through TFTP. Its not clear where the ISO9660 CD

a member of the FreeDOS project has transformed Smart Boot Manager into a COM32 module for Syslinux. Might be a bit more usefull than Syslinux -> memdisk -> imagefile -> Smart Boot Manager ( -> 'boot from cd -> cdrom ) I've inserted it into this diskette image: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/beta9sr1/fdos1440.img That's nice to

Hi, I run a distro that uses Syslinux and I'm failing to see a way to boot an ISO using EFI. I noticed no other distro that uses Syslinux managed to accomplish that. 1. booting Syslinux using EFI on a system copied to a storage unit works just fine -- Syslinux menu shows up; it's all good 2. booting the ISO using EFI via, let's say VirtualBox, fails -- VirtualBox says it can't

Hi, I am trying to build a custom installer for a popular linux distro on MacOS. Here is how: makehybrid \ -o isos/muaaa.iso temp/ \ -eltorito-boot temp/isolinux/isolinux.bin \ -no-emul-boot \ -iso -joliet -boot-load-size 4 \ -default-volume-name "Custom Installer" \ -eltorito-platform temp/isolinux/boot.cat This happens when I boot up the new image:

Hi, i'm possibly not the best source of general SYSLINUX knowledge, as my interest in it is only with my xorriso hat on. (As you can see in the SYSLINUX wiki, xorriso can do the isohybridization without the need for the isohybrid program.)
