Hello!
You are writing in the docs, that 'LOCALBOOT' can be used instead of/like a
kernel image. But I found out that this only works if the parameter is set
under a 'LABEL' statement. It is not possible to set the DEFAULT statement
to boot from local disk.
Combined with the TIMEOUT parameter it's therefore not possible to boot via
DHCP and if no boot-image is choosen from the menu the system on the local
disk won't be booted because 'LOCALBOOT 0' won't be recognized as a correct
kernel-image.
Is this a bug???
with many thanks for this bootloader
