This sounds nice because I am planning to use it only on real floppy drives.
The mechanism you are talking about is maybe the one that is used on
slackware
bootdisks?
With this mechanism is it possible to provide a sort of configuration
file, such
as syslinux.cfg or lilo.conf?
Where can I find docs about this?
Thanks a lot for all your help,
Roberto
