I just saw at http://syslinux.zytor.com/history.php

Changes in 3.05:

    * The initrd= option now supports multiple filenames separated by
      commas. This is mostly useful for initramfs, which can be composed
      of multiple separate cpio or cpio.gz archives. (Note: all files
      except the last one are zero-padded to a 4K page boundary. This
      should not affect initramfs.)
