- mboot.c32
- ---------
-
- mboot.c32 is a 32-bit comboot module that allows SYSLINUX and its
- variants to load and boot kernels that use the Multiboot standard
- (e.g. the Xen virtual machine monitor, and the Fiasco and GNU Mach
- microkernels).
-
- To load a multiboot kernel and modules in SYSLINUX, put mboot.c32 (from
- com32/modules) in the boot directory, and load it as the "kernel" in the
- configuration file. The command-line to pass to mboot.c32 is the kernel
- command-line, followed by all the module command lines, separated with
- '---'. For example, to load a Xen VMM, xenlinux and an initrd:
-
- DEFAULT mboot.c32 xen.gz dom0_mem=15000 nosmp noacpi --- linux.gz console=tty0 root=/dev/hda1 --- initrd.img
-
- or, as a choice in a menu:
-
- LABEL Xen
- KERNEL mboot.c32
- APPEND xen.gz dom0_mem=15000 nosmp noacpi --- linux.gz console=tty0 root=/dev/hda1 --- initrd.img
-
- mboot.c32 requires version 2.12 or later of SYSLINUX.
