I think it's officially supposed to be able to support more. I know
my so called "ultimate boot dvd" uses quite a number of items. It's a
system diagnostic/repair/etc kind of disc, so I stuck a lot of items,
many of which weren't 100% necessary in there.
Here's my configuration:
# Nazo's Ultimate Boot Disc
DEFAULT menu.c32
ONTIMEOUT sysrescd initrd=sysrinit.gz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc
acpi=on vga=788 setkmap=41 cdcache ar_nowait
TIMEOUT 300
PROMPT 0
IMPLICIT 1
DISPLAY message.msg
F1 message.msg
F2 sysrescd.msg
SAY Enter command line for bootup:
