Thanks for the suggestion and feedback.  I've tested it and so far it
has worked for me.  The only thing that I'm uncertain on is what is
the appropriate length for the command line string that I build.  I
used a #define so it would be easy to change it and easy to find it.
I'll have to look at how SYSLINUX and the Linux kernel define the
command line length limit to find a more appropriate value.

Thinking about this, I know that I need to change the code as it could
easily overflow the string if the command line builds up to be over
127 characters.  This will be a simple change.
