Syslinux - Feb 2008 - Boot from CD

Is there an option to trigger the El-Torito Code (Boot from CD) in
syslinux/pxelinux?

 

Sort of like this:

 

LABEL CDROM

                Chainboot (cd0,0)

 

Label Floppy

                Chainboot (fd0,0)

Not directly, since the El Torito BIOS stack is not available unless the 
system booted from CD.

The Simple Boot Manager, mentioned earlier, contains its own El Torito 
stack and can be used for this purpose.
