Just wondering if there was any documentation other than what's on the FAQ/webpage? If not, under the section which says how to be able to use syslinux on a harddrive, it states, "A simple MBR, roughly on par with the one installed by DOS (but unencumbered), is included in the SYSLINUX distribution" How do i install this MBR to the harddrive (in my case, I am using a USB drive partitioned into three.) I have tried: dd if=mbr.bin of=/dev/sdb syslinux /dev/sdb1 -Elmo

Get the latest SYSLINUX 2.xx prerelease and it should work. (Hmmm... I should merge it back into the 1.x tree.) -hpa
