I see.. But the chainloading is implemented! Can I load a ce/me/nt system
from the second drive then?

/boot/extlinux.conf:

	LABEL lin
 		KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-686-smp

	LABEL win
		KERNEL chain.c32
 		APPEND hd1 1

I'm asking because I appreciate syslinux very much and use it since
early slackware releases, I think. If extlinux were that good I'd avoid
happily other loaders in favor of a fast, compact and reliable one.
I don't mind it is not documented since people are replying anyway.

Thank you,
Alex.
