[syslinux] Time out would not boot from local drive

[Greg_Chu at Wendys.com]

Peter,

It just display the menu again and again, when time out happens just blink 
once. It seems to me it is executing DEFAULT menu.c32 when time out 
happens.

After I take ONTIMEOUT it behaves the same.
Thanks for your understanding.

Greg

My default file shown blow:

DEFAULT menu.c32
PROMPT 0
TIMEOUT 50
ONTIMEOUT localboot

        LOCALBOOT 0

        MENU LABEL Restore images
        kernel memdisk
        append initrd=boot.imz

I've never compiled syslinux on Windows, although it's possible that 
compiling under MinGW or Cygwin would be possible.

Anyway, what happens when the timeout expires?  Also, since you don't 
seem to have "ontimeout" do anything different than the default action, 
what happens if you simply omit that line?
