ALL bootloaders are horrid, it's in their nature.
Although I agree with you, boot loaders don't have to be horrid. They have only one job: copy one (possibly two) files from a device (disk, usb stick, cd, dvd, lan, etc) to memory and do a jmp instruction to the proper location (1st byte of the loaded file). The problem is that for a simple job, they make it complicated. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
