The syslinux program installs a linux bootloader on a FAT-formatted

filesystem or disk image.
This FreeBSD port can additionally operate on plain files containing
a FAT image, thus requiring no special privilege. The program relies
on mtools to perform the manipulation of the FAT filesystem.

++.SH NOTES
++The boot sector and LDLINUX.SYS rely heavily on the operation of
++the \fBsyslinux\fP program to run correctly. In particular,
++\fBsyslinux\fP patches the boot sector with the exact location on
++the disk of the first sector of LDLINUX.SYS, and also it patches
++the file LDLINUX.SYS with the exact location on the disk of each
++additional sector of LDLINUX.SYS itself.
++.PP
++This means that if you want to prepare a new bootable disk, it is
++not enough to duplicate the boot sector and LDLINUX.SYS, but you
++really need to run \fBsyslinux\fP to update the sectors addresses.
