[syslinux] syslinux 2.10 - boot floppy forgets the boot parameters

Hi,
I suspect this bug has already been reported, but here it is just in 
case: the bootable floppies I produced with syslinux 2.10 (just by 
running 'syslinux /dev/fd0') are not able to 'remember' the parameters I 
pass at the boot prompt.
Namely, to boot a USB pen from one of my floppies I pass something like
boot: MoviX MEDIA=usb
(where MoviX is the boot label) but the usb boot fails and there's no 
trace of the 'MEDIA' parm from the 'emergency' prompt I get.
If I run syslinux 2.08 on the very same floppy, then everything works fine.
If you need more details or a bugged image just let me know.
Bye,
Roberto
