[syslinux] Booting non Linux Os

Hello,

I have been trying to use PXELINUX to boot a non Linux OS (QNX6).  It
works if I set the image to be of type .bs (BOOT SECTOR).  However this
only works if the file is below ~550K. If I go over that size the screen
gets fill with gargabe ;-) I think that's because the image is meant to
be load by the QNX6 loader. It doesn't have a BIOS signature but rather
a custom signature.  I'm not sure because I don't really know what I'm
talking about !

I have tried to generate an image in ELF format but that didn't work at
all (it works in GRUB which is why I gave it a try)

Any idea.
