Good day Mortaza,

To catch up the list with the discussion on Boot-Land, you've attempted
a simple hard disk chain using:

LABEL foo
  COM32 chain.c32
  APPEND hd0 1

and received the "Chainboot failed!" message, which means that the
syslinux_shuffle_boot_rm() call returned, which is unexpected.  I
believe that one Chris Miller was having the same trouble at one point;
not too sure how it was resolved.

You've also confirmed that your SYSLINUX installation and chain.c32 are
matching from the same Syslinux 3.86 compilation.  You've provided
meminfo.c32 output on a web page[1].  You've explained that this is in a
VM.
