[syslinux] bug (I think) in gpxelinux.0 ?

[Miller, Shao]

Oops, I was a little late on that last e-mail.

Jeffrey, would you say that this is a poor inconsistency that chain.c32
parses 'keeppxe'?  Should it be on the KERNEL line for regular kernels
but on the APPEND line for COMBOOT32s (well at least chain.c)?  I could
be wrong altogether, obviously.

"keeppxe" is an option to the "kernel" config command, and so should be
on 
the kernel line.  Putting it elsewhere will have no effect.

"raw" is a parameter to memdisk, and so should be on the "append" line. 
Putting it on the kernel line instead may sometimes work in the menu 
system, but will not work in the command line, and in any case the
command 
"kernel memdisk raw keeppxe" prevents the parser from seeing the
"keeppxe" 
option.

label testing
kernel memdisk keeppxe
append initrd=bootdisk/xpboot-144.ima raw
