Hi all

	In syslinux.txt, there said
	
----------------------------------------------------------------------
	If the Shift or Alt keys are held down during boot, or the Caps or
scroll locks are set, Syslinux will display a LILO-style "boot:" prompt.
	
---------------------------------------------------------------------
	
	I am use pxelinux to boot my pxe client. Is there any way to let
user specify a config file in this stage? In another word, I hope I can
specify 'Debug' as config name, not the regular file name 'default' or
something like following order.
	
	/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/b8945908-d6a6-41a9-611d-74a6ab80b83d
	/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd
	/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025B
	/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000025
	/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C00002
	/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C0000
	/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C000
	/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C00
	/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C0
	/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C
	/mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/default
 
 	If what I mentioned is not supported currently. I suggest this
function can be added in further build.
 
Thanks
 
Best Regards
