[syslinux] syslinux.com: sector read error

[Devin Bayer]

Hello.  I cannot install syslinux on my hard disk image.  Steps to  
reproduce the problem:

(1) Create a zeroed disk image with 800 tracks, 32 sides, and 63  
sectors or 825753600 bytes
(2) Fdisk and format it with "format.com /S C:" from windows 98SE  
boot disk.
(3) Copy syslinux (tested version 3.11, 3.20, and latest released) to  
root.
(4) Run "lock C:" and press "Y" (why is this necessary?)
(5) Boot drive and run "syslinux c:"
(6) Get "sector read error"

I am using qemu 0.9.0.  This works with disks having different  
geometries.

If it's easier you can download the disk ready to boot at http://
