[syslinux] ISOLINUX problem booting with no Hard Disk

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

I suspected that, but how can I prove it. I _am_ the vendor :-( 

I need some trace code or something to prove they are wrong. Basically, a
testcase I can give them and tell them they are broke. Do you have any DOS
executable things that I can run that would prove they are broke, or
possibly a debugging isolinux version.

If I can get this, I can walk downstairs to the BIOS guys and hand them a
defect report.

I am _VERY_ motivated to fix this, as it is a _HUGE_ impact on a project I
am on.

BIOS bug :(  Report to your vendor.
