The chain.c32 version in the branch mentioned below now includes an
attempt to implement the protocol documented in syslinux/doc/gpt.txt.

Also includes an "fs" option, for meaning "the Syslinux partition", as
in:

boot: chain.c32 fs ntldr=ntldr

(Would load NTLDR and boot it for the Syslinux-booted _partition_.)

To do: Reference GPT partitions by unique ID.

Hello all.

Here[1] is a branch where chain.c32 can chain-boot a partition on a GPT
disk when given the partition index.

boot: chain hd1 84

(For example.)
