Hi,
a user of my MoviX distro (movix.sf.net) sent me a msg about syslinux 
failing in a strange way to boot from floppy.
You can read his msg at
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=959734&forum_id=207428

Basically, the splash picture and the Fn help keys work but while 
booting he gets always a
"Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue." message .

The problem seems a BIOS problem since the same floppy and the same 
floppy drive booted fine from another PC.

The MoviX boot floppy uses syslinux 2.06.
Any hint would be appreciated!
Thanks,
 Roberto De Leo
