I'm using the latest version of NASM (3.0.5?). I've managed to compile the
freeldr part of the program and have found that the problem with the TIMES
value is related to the bootsect directory and the missing/bad path for
header problems is related to the install part of freeldr.

Where's Brian Palmer when you need him? :-) If and when I get freeldr
working I'll submit any tweaks here so that someone can update the CVS. It's
just a pity that loadros doesn't seem to be in the tree anymore cos I can't
load ros! ;-)

Thanks again for your help, Casper.

Nick.
