* com32/chain: minor fixes and cleanupsMichal Soltys2010-10-251-9/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - make sure opt.maps implies opt.sect, and simplify conditions throughout the files - move structure opt -> options.c - adjust #includes - omitted values in seg= and sect= are assumed 0 in all cases now - mangler_handover(): eax for gpt handover set only for iterated disks - rename parse_args() -> opt_parse_args() - rename mangler_common() -> mangler_init() - add opt_set_defs() - if mmapped sector would conflict with the file, turn off mmapping instead of bailing out - update temporary chain.txt to reflect changes + other fixups Signed-off-by: Michal Soltys <soltys@ziu.info>
* com32/chain: allow service-only runsMichal Soltys2010-10-081-4/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces small feature, allowing so called "service-only" runs - where the chain modules does everything as instructed, but otherwise doesn't perform actual chainloading. This is useful for 'mbrchs', '[un]hide[all]' and 'setbpb'+'save' options, making possible adjustments to partition/boot sector values on any disk/partition. See 'chain' option in doc/chain.txt for more details. Signed-off-by: Michal Soltys <soltys@ziu.info>
* com32/chain: Add unhide and unhideall optionsMichal Soltys2010-10-081-2/+4
| | | | | | | It could be useful to be able to simply unhide partitions. This short patch adds such functionality. Signed-off-by: Michal Soltys <soltys@ziu.info>
* chain module: bugfixing and cosmeticsMichal Soltys2010-09-281-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Bugs: - one introduced ages ago - find_by_* functions should be tested vs. <0 for failure - one introduced by 579f15c7c456c - it accidentally blocked too much when testing for ',' in drive/partition option parsing - one introduced by d4d713c9ccfe0 - sone machines / VMs seem to set @40:75 just 1, regardless of amount of fixed disks available Signed-off-by: Michal Soltys <soltys@ziu.info>
* chain module: setbpb changes, bss & bs options, bugfixesMichal Soltys2010-09-281-53/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generic function detecting BPB type (7 versions) have been added. set{hid,geo,drv} have been replaced by single setbpb option, using mentioned function to make more precise decisions what to update where. Full BSS and BS emulation has been added, also employing BPB detection. Some logic/flow changes in chain's main(). There was also a bug, in which backup sector was populated with wrong data. Appropriate documentation updates. Signed-off-by: Michal Soltys <soltys@ziu.info>
* chain, options: bugfixes, adjustments; big doc updateMichal Soltys2010-09-281-82/+277
