[syslinux] Need help chainloading from isolinux.

i am trying to use chain.c32 with isolinux to load WinPE/BartPE/etc and 
I can not get it to work.
I have tried with the simple.c32, and just from the isolinux prompt. I 
have tried 3.32-pre6, 
3.20, and jumped back and tried 3.08. All configurations fail with 
'Cannot read Master Boot Record'.

The boot sectors are known to be good, and are known to work with 
chain.c32 with pxelinux. they also work with CDShell, and its bundled 
isolinux/chain.

The layout of my Project is very simple for this, in the root I have:

isolinux.bin
isolinux.cfg
memdisk
chain.c32
menu.c32 (renamed from simple.c32)
2krc.dat
bootsect.bin
erd.dat
i386
erd1
(etc..)

My isolinux.cfg:
DEFAULT      menu.c32
PROMPT       1
TIMEOUT      100
ONTIMEOUT    boothdd

LABEL boothdd
  localboot  0x80



Any pointers would be appreciated.
