RE: [ros-kernel]CDROM bootsector

[Brian P. <br...@sg...>]

I was under the impression that bootable cdrom's used some kind of
emulation mode to emulate a floppy drive. In that case the regular FAT12
boot sector should work because you supply a floppy disk image on the
bootable cdrom. Is there someplace where I can get more information
about this?

Hi!

Last weekend I played a little with 'Isolinux' (ISO9660 boot code for
linux)
from the 'Syslinux' package. I thought about removing the parts that are
not
needed to load and run FreeLdr.sys. Today I found the announcement of
'Boot
Scriptor' (proprietary license) on Freshmeat (www.freshmeat.net) which
uses
a stripped Isolinux (GPL'd). I guess this is exactly what we need to
boot
FreeLoader from cdrom.
