In the boot menu file I can see the following line:
chainloader /boot/msdos.bs
What kind of file is a *.bs file? And how is it made? Urgent!!!
Could a moderator explain it? Thanks!

The original meaning of bs may be Boot Sector
But this is not a fixed-format file, it's just added casually; if you rename it, it will still run the same.
It doesn't matter if you remove the extension either, because the Linux system seems not to use extensions to determine file attributes. For example, for an executable file, no matter what extension it has, even if it's TXT, as long as the code can run, it will still run.
(DOS WINDOWS uses extensions to determine file attributes)
