[syslinux] Replacing pxelinux.0 with gpxelinux.0

Hi,

   I have been testing replacing pxelinux.0 with gpxelinux.0.  With normal network boot targets such as:

label recovery
  kernel vmlinuz-amazon-ramdisk
  append initrd=amazon-ramdisk.img.gz ramdisk_size=358400 ramdisk_blocksize=1024 root=/dev/ram0 mem=16G

gpxelinux.0 works fine, booting from TFTP. ( Working my way into a migration to HTTP )

However when I try to boot local, which works with the pxelinux.0 loader but not gpxelinux.0:

label local
  localboot 0

I get:

Booting from local disk...
No more network devices

PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.

And the box hangs there indefinitely.  

Is there different syntax for gpxelinux.0 to boot from the local machine vs network?
