[syslinux] Boot kernel on a different drive/partition
Is it possible for syslinux to boot a kernel stored on a different drive/partition to the one on which syslinux was started from? Thanks, Andrew

You can, however, chainload such a partition. (Ram has been working on some of that support, however, I'm skeptical to it as it tends to lead down the Grub road of not handling dynamic systems properly. I would be very interested in the usage case, i.e. why do you think you need this.) -hpa
