Rewrite the Ext bootsector because the older one was broken and had no compatibility with Ext4 extents. Introduce a 3rd-stage bootsector for complex code. CORE-14235 - Why was the previous bootsector broken? Because of hardcoded inode size, hardcoded freeldr base address, etc. - Why is there a extldr.sys? The extldr.sys was introduced because the limited code space in the bootsector prevents adding new features, such as Ext4 full extents support. - What is extldr.sys and What does it do? It is the helper file for the Ext bootsector and that is necessary for adding Ext4 support. It locates the freeldr.sys file, loads it into memory and runs it. |
