Hello,

I have just get started using pxelinux, and encountered a problem.
The document says the simple menu system supports serial console,
and it works on syslinux 0.2x, but it doesn't seem to work in 0.3x and 0.4x.
I confirmed that this patch fixed the bug.

memdisk: Constrain input drive numbers both by equipment byte and INT 13h

Apparently on some BIOSes, INT 13h return a bogus number of floppy drives
when the real value is zero (probably because the code doesn't check the
validity bit in the equipment byte.)  Do it ourselves if we need to.

Arguably these really should be kept from the original invocation instead
of saved.  This is doable for PXELINUX, but might be very hard to do for
the disk-based ones.  Think hard about it.
