Syslinux - Jun 2002 - Hard disk image to use with Memdisk

Hallo

I would like to have an image of about 8Mb to boot with ISOLINUX and
MEMDISK. I am not able to create an image complete of the MBR, as MEMDISK
requires. I think I should emulate an 8Mb disk in memory or on a file, but I
am able to do so only for a 'single partition'. Could you please suggest
me
a way to obtain the image? I can use Linux or Windows tools, it does not
matter. Obviously I do not own a 8Mb Hard Disk, or it would be simple...

Thank you.

I'm not sure whether Peter is going to include hard disk image support 
in a future release (I think it would be a matter of getting the image 
in the first place), but in the mean time, you may want to look at a 
program called bpbatch.
