SYSLINUX -> Syslinux
Adopt the moniker "The Syslinux Project", ordinary proper noun
capitalization, to refer to the project as a whole. This leaves the
all-caps SYSLINUX to refer to the FAT loader only.

| 5 | mboot.c32 is a 32-bit comboot 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. |
