elilo syntax is very much like lilo.

For example - elilo.conf:
image=vmlinuz
        label=linux
        initrd=initrd.img
        read-only
        append="ks=http://<URL>/kickstart.cgi devfs=nomount vga=788 text 
ksdevice=eth0 ramdisk_size=7168 initrd=initrd.img"

My equivalent pxelinux.cfg:
label linux
        kernel vmlinuz
        append ks=http://<URL>/ks-bin/kickstart.cgi devfs=nomount 
vga=788 text ksdevice=eth0 ramdisk_size=7168 initrd=initrd.img

So the quoting is different, labels, etc.

Hey now!

There are a lot of them out there.  Don't believe the press :)
