Hi,
 
I've been using Isolinux Boot CD for a while now and it's working great.  This weekend, I decided to install it on my hard drive so I can boot Isolinux of the Hard drive.  I used the famous command : "syslinux -s c:" to initialize the drive then I copied all the .img file to that drive.  Then I renamed the "isolinux.cfg" to "syslinux.cfg" to get to my boot menu.  It worked and I was able to boot of my Hard drive and execute items from the menu except for the first three items which regards the "LOCALBOOT" command and I got the "Unknown Keyword in Syslinux.cfg" message.  All the other items worked.  Here is my menu in syslinux.cfg :
 
---------------------------
default 1
display bootmsg.txt
prompt 1
label 0
 localboot 0x80
label a
 localboot 0x00
label q
 localboot -1
label 1
    kernel netboot.img
label 2
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=msnet.img
label 3
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=pm.img
label 4
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=sm.img
label 5
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=ghost.img
label 6
    kernel nt.img
label 7
    kernel w2.img
label 8
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=password.img
label 9
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=link.img
label 10
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=cdrom.img
label 11
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=win98.img
label 12
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=winnt.img
label 13
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=win2000.img
label 14
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=winxp.img
label 15
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=pci.img
label 16
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=tomsrtbt.img
label 17
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=cpuid.img
label 18
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=scsitool.img
label 19
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=vc.img
label 20
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=dban.img
timeout 300
------------------------------
 
Because I'm not an "expert", I was not able to figure it out why or how to fix this problem.  If you have any suggestions how to use the localboot to boot of my first drive, please feel free replying and let me know.
 
Thank you very much and have a nice weekend.
