Re: [ros-dev] freeldr as PE file

[Brian Palmer]

IMO, it would be preferable not to have two separate filesystem files
required for the bootsector to load in and boot with. My vote would be for
the fat helper code to stay where it is, even at the expense of easier GDB
debugging. Although, I was always content with the serial port output to
debug FreeLoader. Of course, if GDB support could be enabled without making
the boot code harder to manage, that would be great also.

Yes, you are right, this might cause problems. I'll look into it. We
probably need to replace the fathelper code at the beginning with an
additional binary file.
