How is this supposed to work? From the syslinux documentation:
SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which
operates off an MS-DOS/Windows FAT filesystem. It is intended to
simplify first-time installation of Linux, and for creation of rescue-
and other special-purpose boot disks.
It seems to me that SYSLINUX can only operate on MS-DOS floppies, so it
looks like it is useless in this case.
Besides, the "not ufs" messages comes from the boot2 loader program,
boot2.c: printf("Not ufs\n");
so changing the boot sector wont help here - right?
Regards,
Ferdinand
