Title:
  Missing Operating System [message at boot]

Status in Ubuntu CD Images:
  New
Status in syslinux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I'm reviving this report since the issue is still present in 14.04 and
  15.10 syslinux, which is used in the various flavour hybrid ISOs, via
  mbr/isohdpfx.{S,bin}

  The same system I originally reported in comment #30 is still
  affected.

  Original upstream discussion (March 2009):
  http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2009-March/012254.html

  Peter reworked the patches in 2009 and created additional MBRs with
  the suffix "_c" (press Ctrl to force disk 0x80) and "_f"
  (unconditionally force disk 0x80).

  See: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Mbr

  These images are in the Ubuntu 14.04 package but were removed (in
  Debian) with:

  syslinux (3:6.03~pre19+dfsg-3) unstable; urgency=low

    * Also skipping isohd*x_{c,f}.bin in syslinux-common.
