Bug in etherboot 5.1.2rc7

[hcyun at etri.re.kr]

Strange.. 

I tried to put kernel.elf on the first partition but it failed. 
I organized my 1G hdd as follows. 

Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 2100 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1             1         3      1480+  83  Linux
/dev/hda2             4      2100   1056888   83  Linux   

In the hda1 I placed kernel.elf with dd if=kernel.elf of=/dev/hda1 and
placed rootfs on hda2
But It fails to find elf image. 
What did I wrong? 
I make kernel.elf with mkelfImage version 1.16.
