[syslinux] Syslinux + Localboot

Will that work with my BSS file? This is a usb thumbdrive with 1
partition here is what my sys cfg looks like

LABEL pe
MENU DEFAULT
MENU LABEL ^1. DSR PE
BSS vista.bss

LABEL memtest
MENU LABEL ^2. MemTest86+
KERNEL /syslinux/memtest

LABEL gdisk (Currently Doesn't work as it wipes the usb drive and not
the hard drive)
MENU LABEL ^3. Gdisk - Wipe Disk
KERNEL memdisk
append initrd=gdisk.ima

LABEL INPD (unknown if works)
MENU LABEL ^4. Initialize Primary Disk Drive
KERNEL memdisk
append initrd=INPD.ima

LABEL win98
MENU LABEL ^5. Win98 Boot Disk
KERNEL memdisk
append initrd=win98.ima

LABEL RECO (not important)
MENU LABEL ^6. RECO PointSec Recovery Tool
KERNEL memdisk
append initrd=reco.IMZ

LABEL boothd (this fails with syslinux)
MENU LABEL ^7. Boot First Hard Drive
localboot 0x80

LABEL bootFlop (ditto)
MENU LABEL ^8. Boot Floppy
localboot 0x00

Those are currently most of the tools I use the most on my isolinux
formatted cd's.
So if I was to use chain I would modify my localboot 0x80 to something like
chain mbr:0
