Changes in 1.36: * Fix for booting old (pre-initrd) kernels. * It seems at least some versions of OS/2 doesn't set up all the fields in the superblock correctly. Account for that. * Fix bug that caused boot failure when using the mem= option. Changes in 1.35: * Loading from partitions now should work properly. (Actually tested, this time. You should even be able to dd a floppy to a partition and boot from it.) * Removed large workaround code for an alleged ancient BIOS bug I have never actually seen. The -s option should work on those machines, anyway. * Support for simple keyboard remappings, same as used by LILO (once again to support localization.) The program keytab-lilo.pl from the LILO distribution included to generate such maps. * Added a "safe, slow and stupid" (-s) option to the installers. This option will lobotomize the boot sector to hopefully work on even very buggy BIOSes. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 1.36 Entered-date: 14APR98 Description: SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which operates off MS-DOS floppies. It is intended to simplify first-time installation of Linux, rescue disks, and other uses for boot floppies. A SYSLINUX floppy can be manipulated using standard MS-DOS (or any other OS that can access an MS-DOS filesystem) tools once it has been created; and requires only a ~ 6K DOS program or ~ 12K Linux program to create in the first place.
