I created a bootable usb flash with boot menu. One of items was "Boot
from hard drive" with command "localboot 0x81". This item worked
when
this usb flash was prepared with syslinux 6.02. And it stopped working
when the flash was prepared with syslinux 6.03. The message was

Booting from local disk...
Boot error

I extracted the source code, investigated, changed, compiled and used
for the flash. This menu item works again.
