[syslinux] Timeout when MBR found

[Dag Wieers]

Hi,

I am looking for a solution (that apparently is similar to how the Windows 
installation process works) where the isolinux bootloader would act 
different when there is no MBR on the first disk, or when there is one.

This is useful for instance when there is no MBR (and thus no OS) on the 
system to automatically show a menu (or even start the installation). But 
When there is an MBR on the first disk, it could have a timeout of 20sec 
and then boot the OS anyway. (Or maybe show a different menu ?)

With a lua script that provides a config-file, it would be possible to 
create a different config based on eg. the existence of the MBR to change 
the behaviour of isolinux completely. So another use-case :)
