Hello,

Is it possible for syslinux to boot from a different partition ?

I have a UFD with 2 partitions. The first one is fat32 and the second one
is a squashfs. I have the OS files in the squashfs partition. As the
syslinux won't boot from a squashfs partition, I thought of creating a
fat32 (first partition) and install syslinux in it. If I do that, is it
possible to configure syslinux to boot from the squashfs partition ?

I read from the following url that syslinux doesn't support booting from a
different partition at all. Is that correct?

Thanks,
