Syslinux - Apr 2005 - Award BIOS fault

Hello.

I found bug probably comes from BIOS fault.
It does not boot from CDROM if the PC has only CDROM drive but no HDD.
I mean, it can boot from CDROM if the PC has HDD but not boot if no HDD.
I think BIOS returns wrong info. But I appriciate if there comes workaround.

BTW, I got another problem --  I can not compile syslinux 3.07.
What version of nasm you use?
