Hello
I am trying to hack in some symlink support into the [sys/boot/i386/]boot2
bootloader (for my project [1]) and I seem to fall short of about 69 bytes:

[1] I'm trying to get support for /boot being mounted as a separate FS and
as such I would need to have a "self-pointing" symlink (e.g. "boot -> ." )
Just because there is a symlink doesn't mean boot2 has
to follow it.
I haven't looked at the boot2 code, but I presume
there's the equivalent of "chdir boot" in there.
What if you just ignored failure (if there's no
"boot" entry or "boot" isn't a dir, assume the
boot files are in the root of the FS).
Wouldn't that work just as well and require less space?
Cheers,
