[syslinux] isohybrid question

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

here is an alternative idea about getting the
right MBR template for a given isolinux.bin:

How about we put the plight of choice on the
user ?

The MBR template would be given as a simple
disk file of up to 32 kB. E.g. in the same
disk directory as isolinux.bin.
Syslinux would provide a tool for choosing and
generating that MBR file. (A better name
would be "System Area file" as it may be larger
than 512 byte.)

An ISO image generator would get pointed to
that file similarly as it gets pointed to
isolinux.bin.
It would then copy the content to the System
Area of the image and patch in a LBA if
necessary.


This would reduce the expertise needed in the
ISO program and give the user full control
over the choice of an MBR.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
