ok, so my config file stays within the 128 label limit.

I stripped down the config file without the keymap and  F1-F5-files on the 
server: Same problem. So take the attached config file, make sure the keymap 
and F1-F5-files aren't there. This should give 9 'Unknown keyword ...'-errors, 
and one 'Missing parameter ...'-error on pxelinux 1.76 before the 'boot:-prompt. 
If you delete the 'kbdmap invalid' - line pxelinux should give no error.

I gave this file as the IP address config file, so this is named '0A01A8F8'.
Since I also tried with a different client the IP address shouldn't matter.

BTW: The append's contain homebrew kernel-parameters. These are in fact needed,
since I parse these in the init-scripts.

Regards,

Josef
