However, it does not support ElTorito extensions... I called the 4D function (Return Boot Catalog) and the QEMU BIOS (I think) printed a "nice" informative message: "FATAL: Int13 eltorito call with AX=4D00. Please report" (see screenshot)
Furthermore, I wonder... If QEMU doesn't support this, and installing Windows and other operating systems off CDs works, will many BIOSes support this interface at all? PHOENIX BIOSes should, IMO, since the ElTorito standard is made by PHOENIX, but what about the others? We might have to read the boot catalog manually, not with the 4Dh function to achieve more compatibility. Tonight I'll try to do an "Extended Read", function 42h, to get the boot catalog and parse it in a structure and see if it "makes sense". -- Alex Roman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
