Reduce sector 1 space pressure; further merge installer code 2010-06-20T22:21:05+00:00 H.

While we're mucking with the installer code, make the syslxint and extlinux installer code even more similar. It should now be pretty straightforward to outright merge the code. Signed-off-by: H.

Switch to 64-bit sector pointers everywhere 2010-06-15T23:18:24+00:00 H.

In order to not slow down the boot too much, switch the initial load from an enumeration to an extent map. This means the table gets larger (since we have to assume the worst case), but it simplifies the Sector 1 code (since we can push all the hard stuff into the installer), and will speed up booting in the general case.

Implement !GPT protocol in Syslinux core; handle offset > 2 TB 2010-06-14T22:41:37+00:00 H.

We do not yet handle filesystem sizes above 2 TB, but that should be a reasonably straightforward extension at this time (need to switch to 8-byte block pointers). This finally meant moving getlinsec out of the boot sector, since it no longer fits. Instead have a very simple getonesec implementation in the boot sector. getlinsec still fits in Sector 1, although it doesn't leave space for very many block pointers. That's still better than adding yet another boot loader stage, however. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>
