[syslinux] [PATCH 00/12] Multidisk support

Hello,

the following patches should get multidisk access working.
The syntax accepted is the following:

(hdx,y)/path/to/file

where x is the disk number and start at 0 and the y is the partition number starting at 1. So (hd0,1) is the first partition of the first disk.

the other accepted syntax is using MBR's 32 bits disk signature so for example:

(mbr:0x12345678,2)/foo/bar

would address the file /foo/bar at the second partition at the disk that has 0x12345678 as it's signature.

The code can be fetched at:

git://github.com/aericson/syslinux.git multidisk

If I can improve it in anyway, please let me know.
Thanks
