[syslinux] Large Floppy Images

[ganapathy murali krishnan]

I use a 10MB floppy image with ISOLinux. If you have a working 2.88MB 
bootable image, and just want to enlarge it look at the 
"{new,}mkfloppyimg.sh" script in 
http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~gmurali/gui/downloads.html. Also don't 
forget to tell memdisk about the non-standard geometry.
