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.
