[Bug 1325801] Re: failed to boot from USB disk with error: gfxboot.c32: not a COM32R Image boot:

 

@Mathieu, thanks very much for the review, well, yes, I have only tested
the patch with 14.04 as host system. Actually I have two patches in
comment #83 and #84 with two different approaches:

#83: copy the *.c32 files to target, the one I proposed in the merge request
#84: install the target's mbr.bin instead of the host's one

At first I thought #84 would be the best solution since it won't install
the host files to the usbstick at all. However this was turned to be not
always work since that on some images, xubuntu for example, syslinux was
not pre-installed in the target squashfs system. That's why I finally
decide to push the #83 patch.

For the file path changing, let me check if I can get the *.c32 files by
a "find". I'll resubmit my improved patch later.
