Syslinux - Jun 2013 - [5.11-pre1] SYSAPPEND does not work (IPAPPEND alias works)

Hello

While testing PXE booting, I decided to change IPAPPEND to the new
SYSAPPEND and does not work: nothing is appended to command line.

I tested using menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32, same issue.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
SERIAL 0 38400
UI boot/syslinux/vesamenu.c32


LABEL arch64_nbd
MENU LABEL Boot Arch Linux (x86_64) (NBD)
LINUX boot/x86_64/vmlinuz
INITRD boot/x86_64/archiso.img
APPEND archisobasedir=arch archisolabel=ARCH_201306
archiso_nbd_srv=${pxeserver}
SYSAPPEND 3

---------------------------------------------------------------------

the simple menu system, (vesa)menu.c32, has its own configuration
parser.  Did you try the LABEL outside of the simple menu system?

Good point. Yes it works. :) starting using the label from the boot: prompt.
