| mboot.c32 |
| --------- |
| |
| mboot.c32 is a 32-bit ELF 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. |
