IMO, it would be preferable not to have two separate filesystem files required for the bootsector to load in and boot with. My vote would be for the fat helper code to stay where it is, even at the expense of easier GDB debugging. Although, I was always content with the serial port output to debug FreeLoader. Of course, if GDB support could be enabled without making the boot code harder to manage, that would be great also.

We probably need to replace the fathelper code at the beginning with an additional binary file. _______________________________________________ Ros-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev _______________________________________________ Ros-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev
