Hello all,

I have discovered, that subj has an invalid sizes for testing different stage1_5 images.

check fat_stage1_5 31744
check e2fs_stage1_5 31744
check minix_stage1_5 31744

All these limits are 31744, that is 63 sectors. But we have yet another more strong limit on stage1_5 size. As stage1_5 is loaded to 0x2000 and stage2 is loaded to 0x8000, then we have 0x8000 - 0x2000 = 24576 bytes.

And this is not finish yet. As says grub.info, LBA flags is loaded 0x7F00, that is, we have for stage1_5 0x8000 - 0x7F00 = 24320 bytes.
I'm right? Does stage1_5 uses LBA flags?
