CD boot does not support 1680. You must choose from either 1.44 or 2.88

Isolinux is used to boot linux from 'flat' cdrom files. 
it does NOT use the boot floppy method.

If you want an example of this, look into:

Subject: [syslinux] Isolinux Information



I am using isolinux to load the floppy firewall project.  I have a bootable 
floppy and the configuration works well.

I have managed to get isolinux to load the operating system but when it
comes 
time to mount (something?) in response to the root=??? part of the append 
line the operation stops and I land in a shell without having loaded any of 
the firewall files to the ram disk.  All of the system files have loaded.

When I boot off floppy, all files are in the root directory of the floppy
and 
the append line contains root=/dev/fd0U1680 (oversize floppy) and all is 
well.  With isolinux, all the files are in the /isolinux with the operating 
system.

What do I use for the root= part of the append line?

Thanks!
