Description

Also make sure we have some extra buffer space.

CD boot is broken for some systems since bioscd and biosdisk merge. The issue is that we can not use anything else than int 13 ah=0x4b to query cd information.

The patch does restore the same probe as was originally used in bioscd.c. Additionally extra buffer padding is used as suggested by grub source.

Tested on Proliant DL380 Gen10.
