| - Clean up the command-line parsing. |
| |
| - Cleaned up documentation, with a real man page. |
| |
| - Support for clusters larger than 16K. This would require changing |
| a lot of the SYSLINUX internals so we can read partial clusters; |
| change the current "cluster pointers" to become |
| "cluster:sector pointers". (32K may be doable.) Microsoft |
| documentation claims that 32K is the maximum legal value although |
| "some versions of some systems allow 64K". |
| |
| - EBIOS support. |
| |
| - FAT32 support? |
| |
| - Support initrd that span multiple input media? |
| |
| - Support a small set of DOS system calls for COMBOOT images? Serial |
| console support makes this particularly desirable; otherwise the |
| user could just use the BIOS I/O calls, but that won't work with the |
| serial port. A feasible set would be the following: |
| 00h - Terminate program |
| 01h - Read char with echo (return char AL) |
| 02h - Display character (in DL) |
| 08h - Read Keyboard Without Echo (return char in AL) |
| 09h - Display string (DS:DX -> end string in $) |
| 0Bh - Check keyboard status (AL = 0FFh if char avail; AL = 00h if not) |
| 30h - Get version number (return AX=0000h BX=0000h CX=0000h) |
| 4Ch - Terminate program |
| |
| ... in addition to INT 20h (Terminate program), of course. |
| |
| - Factor out common and filesystem-specific code into files, even if |
| they have to be %includes rather than genuine modules. |
| |
| - Add "localboot" support to SYSLINUX (using the ISOLINUX feature set.) |
| |
| - Support booting foreign OS disk images in PXELINUX/ISOLINUX. |
