Try

prompt 1
timeout 30
default install
label install
     kernel mykernel
     append <kerneloptions>

for getting a boot:-Prompt for 3 seconds and then automagically start mykernel,
or

prompt 0

for getting it without boot:-Prompt.
Everything else should be handled by the booted kernel/initrd/root-fs, but that's
a different issue.

Regards,

Josef
