0.4.6a can not use bootlace to install

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. launch a box in virtualbox v.4.1.8
2. use bootlace.com under linux to install mbr

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect work as 0.4.5b-2011-12-30, but get
a cursor on upper left corner.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

grub4dos-0.4.6a-2012-01-01.7z 
archlinux i686

I tried to use Grub4DOS Toolbox for Windows-0.22.exe and got bootlace.com was 
not a grub4dos file error. Not the same as the error listed above but thought 
that was weird that the bootlace wasn't a grub4dos file.

That was with the new grub4dos-0.4.6a-2012-01-01 by the way

The bootlace.com is got from 7z file. (not Grub4DOS toolbox for Windows).

$ 7z l grub4dos-0.4.5b-2011-12-30.7z | grep boot
2011-12-30 15:39:44 ....A        37092               
grub4dos-0.4.5b/bootlace.com  <- work version

$ 7z l  grub4dos-0.4.6a-2012-01-01.7z | grep boot
2012-01-01 18:03:59 ....A        39936               
grub4dos-0.4.6a/bootlace.com  <- failed version

I mean I copied the Grub4Dos for Windows 0.22 to the extracted grub4dos-0.4.6.a 
folder because the program will not run unless its in a g4d directory and I am 
getting bootlace is not a grub4dos file...I can do the same with 0.4.5b and 
Grub4Dos for Windows 0.22 works fine

0.4.6 has changed the boot record greatly. It need some time to get everything 
fine. Thanks.

Thanks you and no rush. Tried Grub4Dos for Windows 0.22 with the newest 0.4.6b 
release 2-27-12 I think and got the same "not a grub4dos file error"

I found bootlace.com can not work on 2012/06/19 version.
I haven't install for windows for many years.

I found bootlace.com from grub4dos-0.4.6.a  works with Grub4DOS Toolbox for 
Windows 0.23 in windows.
i have tested on win98 floopy image file and on usb works perfectly..!

dlin..., About bootlace.com 2012/06/19 version of the problem:
Using Bootlace.com / dev / sda?
Using bootlace.com - floppy my.img?
Using Boorlace.com my.img?

Can you explain it?

yaya! 不好意思可以用中文？ Do you mean you want me to test the 
version 2012/06/19? Anyone have fixed this problem?

dlin.tw:使用中文交流那更好。在反馈7，你说 bootlace.com  
2012/06/19 版本不能工作。而我在 Linux 
下测试没有问题。我是问你，是否在反馈1的环境，使用同样�
��令安装到 MBR.比如 
     bootlace.com /dev/sda
如果不是，那你告诉我，是在什么系统，使用怎样的步骤，��
�法或命令，而发现失败？因为说得详细一些，才好判断，查�
��问题所在。
