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
