Here is part 2 of the BOOTMENU and PFDISK 2.1 distribution.

More detailed descriptions are found in the README file at the
beginning of the first shell archive.

#! /bin/sh
# This is a shell archive, meaning:
# 1. Remove everything above the #! /bin/sh line.
# 2. Save the resulting text in a file.
# 3. Execute the file with /bin/sh (not csh) to create the files:
#	SStor.txt
#	s_msdos.c
#	bootmenu.asm
#	bootauto.asm
#	asm2bin.bat
#	make_msc.bat

then
	echo shar: will not over-write existing file "'SStor.txt'"
else
cat << \SHAR_EOF > 'SStor.txt'

Note: SpeedStor (sstor) modifies MANY locations in the boot sector!

The SpeedStor manual says it does not modify locations 0xEA -- 0x17D
BUT THEY LIE!  If you use the "Parameter Override" feature, sstor
(evidently) puts the new disk parameters in locations 0xEA -- 0xF9.

If you install BOOTAUTO and then run sstor, using the parameter
override feature, you will have clobbered the BOOTAUTO program in a
way such that it hangs or repeats its menu when you make a selection!
(Yes, I learned this the hard way...)

To get around this problem, I wrote a slimmed-down version of the boot
program, called BOOTMENU, which is designed to carefully avoid the
locations clobbered by SpeedStor.  Though this version has the
advantage of SpeedStor compatibility, it does not have the ability to
do automatic, unattended reboots the way BOOTAUTO can.  Oh well.

For future reference, also note that sstor will modify locations
0x17E -- 0x1BD if you create SpeedStor partitions.  To their credit,
this is indeed mentioned in the manual.
