You can use the 'config' keyword.

LABEL sysresc
MENU LABEL SystemRescueCD
CONFIG /rescuecdpath/isolinux.cfg

It works with syslinux and isolinux.
I am not familiar with pxelinux, so I am not completely sure if it works in pxelinux.

Subject: [syslinux] Return to text mode after menu.c32

Hello everyone,
I am in the process of setting up a home boot server using pxelinux. I 
have started creating a menu using menu.c32, and I want to add System 
Rescue CD to that. Is there any way I can point PXE to load the 
isolinux.cfg that comes with SystemRescueCD (I will now on refer to this 
file simply as isolinux.cfg), but not in the "menu" mode? I want to do 
that so all the information and boot options of SystemRescueCD are available

So far the 2 options I have found out are:
1) Create a menu item that boots directly the default kernel of 
SystemRescueCD. Repeat for each other boot option needed.
2) Modify isolinux.cfg to make it display a proper menu using menu.c32, 
with proper labels etc. May need revision with newer version of 
SystemRescueCD

I don't like any of the above options. I would just like to be able to 
load isolinux.cfg as if it was the initial config file. I have tested it 
by renaming to default and it works fine, exactly like booting from CD.

I think that what I need is to load the standard pxelinux binary 
"kernel" with isolinux.cfg conf file,instead of the default. I tried 
that but pxelinux.0 seems to ignore conf filename. Is there another 
(possibly .c32) kernel I can use for this purpose?

Hope I made my problem clear
Thank you in advance

Giannis
