As the first step, I want to thank everybody involved for making a
majorly useful application!
Second, here are the problems I see:
Bug 1: if DEFAULT is not a tag, but a kernel name, menu.c32 fails loading.
Bug 2: When menu.c32 returns to syslinux (on pressing Esc), the splash
screen is not shown;
Bug 3 or a missing feature:
When grub.exe tries to return control to syslinux, it fails.
This happens when the user choses (in the standard menu.lst of
grub4dos distribution) the entry:
title back to dos
quit
Most probably the problem 3 would be very hard to work
around - how would syslinux know where to reload itself
from? It might have been loaded by some chainloader...
Thanks again,
Ilya
