Package: syslinux
Version: 2:4.03+dfsg-7
Severity: normal
isohybrid fails to set the MBR ID when invoked with -id, whereas isohybrid.pl
works as expected. Attached is a small program to read the id from a given
file.
$ python getid.py some.iso
0x9785721e
$ isohybrid -id 0x12345678 some.iso
$ python getid.py some.iso
0x9785721e
$ isohybrid.pl -id 0x12345678 some.iso
$ python getid.py some.iso
0x12345678
