This isn't a syslinux issue. You should have a look at the SysVinit system 
that is started by the kernel. Another option is set the init=[start program] 
kernel option, i.e. at the boot prompt or in the syslinux config file.
As an example: mykernel init=/bin/bash would start a bash right after loading 
the kernel.
