Syslinux - Mar 2011 - Does not auto boot after time out

I am having difficulty trying to figure out how to get a computer to
boot from it's local disk automatically after the pxe menu times out.

I installed syslinux-3.11-4 with yum onto CentOS 5.5

It boots to the local disk if I select Local from the menu and press
enter but it never times out and boots localy.

The AUTOBOOT message doesn't appear either.  

Which instructions in the PXELINUX Wiki
(http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX) am I not
understanding correctly?  

Here's my files and directory structure:

/tftboot/menu.c32
/tftboot/menu.cfg
/tftboot/pxelinux.0
/tftboot/CentOS5.5-netboot-vmlinuz
/tftboot/CentOS5.5-netboot-initrd.img
/tftboot/memdisk


Here's my /tftboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file:
	default  menu.c32 menu.cfg
	prompt 0 

Here's /tftboot/menu.cfg
	MENU TITLE PXE Boot Menu
	MENU AUTOBOOT Starting Localy in # seconds
	default menu.c32
	prompt 0
	timeout  80
	TOTALTIMEOUT 100
	
	label Local
      	  MENU DEFAULT
	        MENU LABEL ^Boot from the local hard drive
      	  localboot 0
	
	label CentOSNetBoot
      	  MENU LABEL CentOS5.5-NetBoot
	        kernel CentOS5.5-netboot-vmlinuz
      	  append initrd=CentOS5.5-netboot-initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216
noapic acpi=off

First of all, try with a recent syslinux version, say 4.04-pre12 from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/

I solved my own problem by building the rpms from the lastest syslinux
and nasm source.  Thank you syslinux project crew for including the spec
file.
