Out of curiosity, do these actually work? What does the boot.ini look
like and what 32bit storage driver do you use?

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
------------------------------
 
My Guess is because it's already booted to the harddrive, the localboot
is not applicable any more ? 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.
Paralilis.
