Hello list.

I have configured a Linux box for booting from a Compact Flash instead of a
Hard Disk, this is an IDE CF, Syslinux is on the MBR because it loads, when
I put the the kernel file named as linux as it expects i load it but when I
rename it expecting it to load the SYSLINUX.CFG it does not load the menu as
I would like, I will put two images on that Compact flash in order to boot
from two diferent configurations

Here is a listing of my Compact Flash

F:\>dir
 Volume in drive F is CE
 Volume Serial Number is 3565-18E8

Here I have the content of my SYSLINUX.CFG file



DEFAULT KypusLX
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 600

LABEL KypusLX
 KERNEL vmlinuz
 APPEND ramdisk_size=73000 ro initrd=KYPUS.IMG root=/dev/ram

LABEL KypusCE
 KERNEL vmlinux
 APPEND ramdisk_size=73000 rw initrd=KYPUS.IMG root=/dev/ram

Any Idea?
