Hello. I cannot install syslinux on my hard disk image. Steps to
reproduce the problem:
(1) Create a zeroed disk image with 800 tracks, 32 sides, and 63
sectors or 825753600 bytes
(2) Fdisk and format it with "format.com /S C:" from windows 98SE
boot disk.
(3) Copy syslinux (tested version 3.11, 3.20, and latest released) to
root.
(4) Run "lock C:" and press "Y" (why is this necessary?)
(5) Boot drive and run "syslinux c:"
(6) Get "sector read error"
I am using qemu 0.9.0. This works with disks having different
geometries.
If it's easier you can download the disk ready to boot at http://
devin.freeshell.org/syslinux-read-error.img.bz2
Thanks,
Devin Bayer
