Hi all,

I have started a new branch to play with disk detection.

The CLI looks like:

   http://pub.mouraf.org/syslinux/disks.png

The menu:

   http://pub.mouraf.org/syslinux/disks-menu-2.png

Does anyone have feedback on it? hpa requested MiB values for partitions
length and erwan a more granular CLI (show disk 0x80 instead of show
disk listing all disks).

Any other take? There is a *LOT* of stuff we could display about disks
(e.g. dumping the entire EDD structure). Any special request?

The branch is located here if you want to have a look:

http://pub.mouraf.org/gitweb/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=syslinux;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/disklib

There is a new disk.c32 module testing the core of the disk library.

Thanks,
