Hi!
I have a problem understanding the option -boot-load-size of mkisofs.
When I understand the manpage correct
" -boot-load-size load_sectors
Specifies the number of "virtual" (512-byte) sec-
tors to load in no-emulation mode. The default is
to load the entire boot file. Some BIOSes may have
problems if this is not a multiple of 4."
I have to calcuate the number of sector based on the size of the
boot image.
I use this:
mkisofs -b boot/isolinux.bin -c boot/boot.cat \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table <other options>
(found at http://syslinux.zytor.com/iso.php )
It creates a CD that boots!
But how come it works, because from my understanding it should not?
# du --block-size=512 boot/isolinux.bin
24 boot/isolinux.bin
PS: Is there an archive for this list somewhere? Didn't find any!
PPS: Please CC me because I'm not on the list.
