similar to: help booting iso's?

Hello all I have installed "syslinux" as follows: Microsoft(R) Windows 98 (C)Copyright Microsoft Corp 1981-1999. C:\WINDOWS>format o: /s C:\WINDOWS>format o: /s WARNING, ALL DATA ON DISK DRIVE O: WILL BE LOST! Proceed with Format (Y/N)?y Checking existing disk format. Formatting 967.98M Format complete. System transferred Volume label (11 characters, ENTER for none)?

Here is a patch that makes it possible to chainload GRUB2 core.img form chain.c32. It reuses the grub= parameter (used for chainloading GRUB Legacy stage2): - both loaded at 0x8000 - start execution at offset 0x200 (0x8200 in memory) GRUB2 allows to specify another "GRUB home dir" than the standard /boot/grub GRUB2 doesn't allow to change the configfile 'grub.cfg' name

Greetings, I encounter a problem that should be basic, but I can't get a clue. I have 8G USB disk formatted as FAT32. I run (syslinux -i -s -r -m H:) to make it bootable, and write syslinux.cfg according to the documents, but it will not boot some items. Syslinux is 6.03, bios files used. The whole syslinux.cfg file:

chain.c32 of SYSLINUX 3.82 does set the boot drive passed to the DL register to 0x80 and not to the boot drive (CD-drive). This can be a problem if you want to chainload grldr (grub4dos bootloader) from a CD and if you want to let grldr search for its menu.lst file on the CD.

I made several attepmts using the tree of 5.01 2013. My syslinux.cfg file has display /path_to/syslinux.cfg directive. 1. The installation, with a --directory option, was successful. After boot I got syslinux boot prompt. The syslinux.cfg was not displayed. I guess that means the MBR was there, but not the partition boot sector. Then I noticed the thread at

Hi H. Peter Anvin, I wanted to thank you for sharing information about PXE, I have used this a lot and I wanted to share something that may be important for you and your readers. I have many different Dell model, they all worked well with PXE booting however not for E5510. I noticed that using "LocalBoot -1 or 0" doesn't work well. What I did use for Latitude E5510 (Bios A06)
