Hello!
I'd like to load a ramdisk with syslinux, but from another disk.
And I've found this in the syslinux faq:
"An initrd is loaded from a DOS file if the option
"initrd=filename"
(where filename is the filename of the initrd image; the file must be
located in the root directory on the boot floppy)"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But I'd like to replace the floppy, and load a ramdisk file from
another disk.
What parameters should I give the kernel? I t've tried many variations
of initrd, but failed...
Thanks for your help in advance.

So the linuxrc prompts for another disk, and loads & mounts the disk where suitable. It's a bit of work, but should do what you want.
