[syslinux] chain.c32 "Chainboot failed!"

[Shantanu Gadgil]

Hi Shao,
Current I am using syslinux-4.00-pre36 with "LOCALBOOT 0" for HDD booting.

Things seem to be working...so I haven't messed with the setup.

(I haven't had time to verify whether "chain.c32 hd0 0" works)

Regards,
Shantanu

Good day Shantanu,

Is this 
fixed with Syslinux-4.00-pre33 or higher?  I know that H. Peter 
addressed chain.c32 a little bit after 4.00-pre-32.
