The chain_gpt branch mentioned below has been updated to top-of-git and
also contains additions for the chain.c32 COMBOOT32 module to:
- Boot a GPT disk by its GUID/UUID/UID (whatever)
boot: chain.c32 guid:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
- Boot a GPT partition by its GUID/UUID/UID (whatever)
boot: chain.c32 guid:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
- Boot a GPT partition by its GPT label
boot: chain.c32 label:foo

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.)
