I would like to make my USB stick (which has one big FAT partition)
bootable using grub, because syslinux isn't able to boot memtest86.
I may be wrong, but I think the reason it's not working now is because
of the missing fat_stage1_5 file. Would it be possible to include it
in the next package release? Other people may want to try the same, and
not all of them are prepared to compile it themselves. Besides, it only
enlarges the package by 2Kb and the installed size by 7Kb, so there is
no real drawback.
I created a very spectacular patch to fix this issue (for linux build
systems, the rest I didn't dare touch), in case that would help (but I
doubt it)
Greetings and thanks for all your work,
Joris Patroons
