[syslinux] Syslinux fails with floppy emulation

[Matan Levi]

I am trying to use syslinux on a floppy image to create a bootable CD.
When I boot (on a number of computers) I only get "Boot error", using the
image file on a floppy works.

I realize the correct way to do this is using isolinux with no emulation but
but I need to do this with syslinux :(

I've looked into it and older versions of syslinux dont have this problem.
From
my research it seems as though this problem was introduced since EBIOS
support
was added (I think the reason is that before that, the code that searched
for the first
sector of ldlinux.sys actually scanned the file system and now, the offset
is patched
into the boot sector).

Thank you for your time.

Matan.
