1 2 mboot.c32 3 --------- 4 5 mboot.c32 is a 32-bit ELF module that allows Syslinux and its 6 variants to load and boot kernels that use the Multiboot standard 7 (e.g. the Xen virtual machine monitor, and the Fiasco and GNU Mach 8 microkernels). 9 10 To load a multiboot kernel and modules in Syslinux, put mboot.c32 (from 11 com32/modules) in the boot directory, and load it as the "kernel" in the 12 configuration file. The command-line to pass to mboot.c32 is the kernel 13 command-line, followed by all the module command lines, separated with 14 '---'. For example, to load a Xen VMM, xenlinux and an initrd: 15 16 DEFAULT mboot.c32 xen.gz dom0_mem=15000 nosmp noacpi --- linux.gz console=tty0 root=/dev/hda1 --- initrd.img 17 18 or, as a choice in a menu: 19 20 LABEL Xen 21 KERNEL mboot.c32 22 APPEND xen.gz dom0_mem=15000 nosmp noacpi --- linux.gz console=tty0 root=/dev/hda1 --- initrd.img 23 24 mboot.c32 requires version 2.12 or later of Syslinux. 25 26 Tim Deegan, May 2005 27
