- Change the lookup() function to report success or failure using the carry
flag rather than explicitly halting if a lookup failed. - Add a loop around the call to lookup() to traverse an array of nul-terminated strings for possible paths to the boot loader. A double nul character denotes the end of the list. - Add a new message to say that the boot failed if all of the path lookups for a boot loader file failed. - Add '/boot/loader' as a second boot path. If you build an ISO using risky options to mkisofs such as -U then the loader will be called '/boot/loader' rather than '/BOOT/LOADER;0'. This allows cdboot to work with such risky ISO images. - Bump version to 1.2 to denote added functionality. The basic idea as well as some of the code were provided by the submitter, but I added some extra code to use a loop rather than hard-code just 2 possible paths.
