[syslinux] booting dell diagnostic hd image with isolinux

Dell has an ISO image (Dell version 5061A0, A5061) available here
http://support.euro.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?releaseid=R102625&fileid=132637
which contains an ISO with an hard disk image and no-emulation boot.

I've estracted the hard disk image (size=2048000) and I'd like to boot it
with isolinux.

I tried

	kernel memdisk
	append initrd=dell5061.img

The Dell/Dos os starts to boot and prints
	=========== Diagnostics ==============
	Loading PBR for descriptor 1...done
	Loading DRMK version 8.00 ...

	Can't load kernel file
	<hangs>

Since the Dell disks partially boots the memdisk messages are cleared and I
cannot paste them here.

Anyone have succesfully booted the Dell diag image?

Thanks
