Syslinux - Oct 2006 - moving Kernel and initrd to subdir?

Dear syslinux users,

I am trying to move Kernel and initrd images away from the root directory of
my bootable Partition. 

Looks like this is not possible. While it seems to work with pxelinux, it
does not seem to work when using syslinux and FAT.

I tried the following:

label foo
  kernel /boot/vmlinuz
  append initrd=/boot/initrd

Ideally it would be even possible to move syslinux.cfg into /boot

Any hints?

Regards

Sven

This is not currently supported under SYSLINUX; it's supported under 
extlinux, however.

With some of the recent changes to SYSLINUX for FAT32 support, it's 
probably not too hard to add subdirectory support, but I don't know when 
I will have time to do it.  Unfortunately things are more than just busy 
for me right now; it's downright insane.
