Can't hold it off any longer... here it is :)
Changes in 2.00:
* ALL: Add support for "COM32" (32-bit COMBOOT) images.
* ALL: Add an API for COMBOOT/COM32 images. See comboot.doc
for details. There is a C development environment for
COM32 being created; it should be ready at some point in
the future.
* Fix mbr.asm so that it actually works.
* SYSLINUX: The syslinux installer *SHOULD* now be safe to
run setuid root.
* PXELINUX: Fix bug where PXELINUX would override random
chunks of the UNDI code segment! Thanks to Kevin Tran for
finding this bug.
* ISOLINUX: Fix a bug related to slashes in pathnames.
* ISOLINUX: Fix a bug in handling initrds over 128 MB.
* ALL: Make the <Ctrl-V> key print out the version; this is
to help debugging.
* Add a small script, mkdiskimage, to create a DOS-formatted
hard disk image using mtools. This may be useful in
conjunction with MEMDISK.
* ISOLINUX: Search for a /boot/isolinux directory as well as
/isolinux.
* ALL: Fix a bug related to very long configuration files.
* PXELINUX: Work around a NASM bug which would result in no
delay before reset if an error occurs.

2.00-pre14 worked with the "local" rule defined as
LABEL local
LOCALBOOT 0
2.00 hangs for at least one of my systems. The system that fails is a
Supermicro 370DER with dual onboard Intel Ethernet Pro 100. It displays
the message "Booting from local disk..." and then hangs. No
"PXE-M0F:
exiting" message. The keyboard LEDs are responsive, and I can reboot
with ctrl-alt-del.
Another system which works fine with both 2.00-pre14 and with 2.00 has
an old single PIII Supermicro board with a 440BX chipset and an old
Intel Ethernet Pro 100 pci network card.

Actually 2.00-pre13 already worked where 2.00-pre11 bailed out. Thanks!

Maybe this has to do with the 'memory overwrite bug'.
