* pxechn.c32: PXE NBP chainloaderGene Cumm2012-05-271-0/+94
| | | | | | | | | Designed as a more versatile COM32-based alternative to pxechain.com. It can use the PXE RESTART or chain to the new NBP without the PXE stack. It also enables a user to boot Microsoft Windows Server 2008R2 Windows Deployment Services's wdsnbp.com from PXELINUX. Signed-off-by: Gene Cumm <gene.cumm@gmail.com>

| * | | | | 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>

* Export the 64-bit partition offset and use it in chain.cH. Peter Anvin2010-06-271-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When used with the "fs" option to chain.c32, we need to know our own filesystem offset. That means knowing if we used the MBR vs GPT partition information, as well as if we ended up using the passed-in information or not. Resolve this by providing an explicit pointer to the current partition offset. Eventually this should be replaced by some kind of statfs() call. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It appears that there still are PXE stacks in the field which needs the crutch of being pointed to the default gateway.

* gptmbr: implement the new T13-approved GPT protocolH. Peter Anvin2010-06-111-31/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | My GPT-based protocol was modified by the UEFI and T13 committees (the former responsible for the GPT format, the latter for EDD and therefore for the disk-related part of the BIOS specification.) This is thus now on its way to become an official protocol, so change the implementation to match. This still needs testing, and the Syslinux core needs to be adjusted to leverage the extended information. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>
