| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generalize the ipappend handling to cover all the derivatives, and rename it "sysappend" ("ipappend" is a valid alias for all derivatives.) Move all the string handling to protected mode. Currently only pxelinux exports strings, but the plan is to change that in the future. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We also take a bit relaxed approach - so we check for presence of 0xEE at any place, then attempt to read GPT header only if prefmbr is not set. Signed-off-by: Michal Soltys <soltys@ziu.info>
* | | | com32/chain: implement relax flagMichal Soltys2013-02-141-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This flag tones down sanity checks during partition iteration. This is useful in situations such as: - inconsistent layouts, but with some partition still in sane bootable state - usb sticks/disks moved between different PCs might return different size, which might cause problems if the partitions span the whole disk Signed-off-by: Michal Soltys <soltys@ziu.info>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 16-bit COMBOOT files are no longer supported by Syslinux in 5.00 so delete all references and change any 32-bit COMBOOT image references to mention ELF instead. Some of the COMBOOT stuff is still used internally so we can't nuke core/comboot.inc yet, but that will disappear in a future release. Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>

This is useful for 'mbrchs', '[un]hide[all]' and 'setbpb'+'save' options, making possible adjustments to partition/boot sector values on any disk/partition.
