[ros-kernel] SetupLdr boots from CD

[Eric K. <ek...@rz...>]

Hi!

I've got some good news for you. Today I started working on SetupLdr
(modified FreeLoader) and Isoboot (CD bootsector) again.

After a lot of useless attemps I found out that the BIOS of one of my
machines got a bug that is not correctly handled by the current Isoboot
code. Even the latest SYSLINUX release freezes this machine. The problem is
that the read buffer in a call to read cd-sectors must not cross segment
boundaries. I reduced the sector count limit and now SetupLdr boots from CD.
;-)

I planned to make a few more tests and commit the changes tomorrow. So if
anyone wants to have an iso-image, let me know.
