[syslinux] Hanging while booting

[Tor Fredrik Aas]

Booting with SYSLINUX on a Digital Celebris GL 5166 ST machine causes the 
loader to hang. The problem is solved by installing syslinux with the -s 
option. 

This problem seems to affect the Celebris GL 5133 ST system as well. 
According to some older digital support pages they have the same bios and 
the motherboard seems to be almost identical.

The BIOS is a Phoenix BIOS v.4.04 with vendor version v.1.03. There is an 
update to the vendor version, but I don't have the facilities to install 
this since it requires an older version of DOS.

Other bootloaders : The netbsd bootloader seems to work fine, but there are 
other issues with netbsd on this machone. The FREEDOS loader crashes on 
loading with a divide by zero error. 

More information on the system and error messages available on request.
