Hello list.
I have configured a Linux box for booting from a Compact Flash instead of a
Hard Disk, this is an IDE CF, Syslinux is on the MBR because it loads, when
I put the the kernel file named as linux as it expects i load it but when I
rename it expecting it to load the SYSLINUX.CFG it does not load the menu as
I would like, I will put two images on that Compact flash in order to boot
from two diferent configurations
Here is a listing of my Compact Flash
F:\>dir
Volume in drive F is CE
Volume Serial Number is 3565-18E8
Directory of F:\

Here I have the content of my SYSLINUX.CFG file
DEFAULT KypusLX
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 600
LABEL KypusLX
KERNEL vmlinuz
APPEND ramdisk_size=73000 ro initrd=KYPUS.IMG root=/dev/ram
LABEL KypusCE
KERNEL vmlinux
APPEND ramdisk_size=73000 rw initrd=KYPUS.IMG root=/dev/ram
Any Idea?

I don't see syslinux.cfg file in your directory listing.
does Syslinux even load?
Win9x/DOS: SYSLINUX.COM F:
NT/2000/XP: SYSLINUX.EXE F:
I have *no* idea why you have isolinux.bin/cfg in the directory listing.
Syslinux requires all files it can load to be in root.
Don't know if MEMDISK also requires this.
