Hi,
I've been using Isolinux Boot CD for a while now and it's working great.
This weekend, I decided to install it on my hard drive so I can boot Isolinux of
the Hard drive. I used the famous command : "syslinux -s c:" to
initialize the drive then I copied all the .img file to that drive. Then I
renamed the "isolinux.cfg" to "syslinux.cfg" to get to my
boot menu. It worked and I was able to boot of my Hard drive and execute items
from the menu except for the first three items which regards the
"LOCALBOOT" command and I got the "Unknown Keyword in
Syslinux.cfg" message. All the other items worked. Here is my menu in
syslinux.cfg :
---------------------------
default 1
display bootmsg.txt
prompt 1
label 0
localboot 0x80
label a
localboot 0x00
label q
localboot -1

append initrd=scsitool.img
label 19
kernel memdisk
append initrd=vc.img
label 20
kernel memdisk
append initrd=dban.img
timeout 300
------------------------------
Because I'm not an "expert", I was not able to figure it out why
or how to fix this problem. If you have any suggestions how to use the
localboot to boot of my first drive, please feel free replying and let me know.
Thank you very much and have a nice weekend.

My Guess is because it's already booted to the harddrive, the localboot is
not applicable any more ? Because I'm not an "expert", I was not
able to figure it out why or how to fix this problem. If you have any
suggestions how to use the localboot to boot of my first drive, please feel free
replying and let me know.
Thank you very much and have a nice weekend.

Out of curiosity, do these actually work? What does the boot.ini look
like and what 32bit storage driver do you use?
