[syslinux] Bug in 2.05 .bss chain loader (works in 1.40).

[Blaauw,Bernd B.]

this can't be a bug, since Syslinux + Memdisk + FreeDOS work great.
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/beta9rc1/fdbootcd.iso

I created the ISO, and have tested it within VMware.

however, as someone on this list reported recently, on a SCSI-only system IsoLinux fails (reboot..) early, before being able to open the isolinux.cfg file.
Maybe an ordered list will work for this.
To make things worse, it's a 99 minutes cd [850MB data, necessary to enable overburn] :)

if needed I'll put online a 1.5MB mini-ISO so the person having trouble can test.

regards,

Bernd Blaauw

I love syslinux, and loath to cry bug, but I think
this might qualify.

I found that using the chain loader in syslinux
version 2.05 on a FreeDOS (ver. 2.30.1) boot floppy
failed (locked after 'FreeDOS' is written to the
screen).
