_______________________________________________________
Details:
I found "chainloader +N“ or ”chainloader file“ only loads 512 bytes
maximum to 0:0x7c00.
It should be better that
"chainloader +N" loads N sectors
and
"chainloader file" loads the whole file.
I made a patch file(for chainloading file), and it worked.
though I don't know if it has side-effects.
