[syslinux] Strange Boot-Process with help of memdisk

Good day Helmut,

MEMDISK-ISO should allow MEMDISK to work directly with the .ISO,
however, if the Linux distribution on that .ISO needs to access the
contents of the .ISO after the kernel is booted, you will need a MEMDISK
driver for Linux.  There is currently no such driver.  If the distro
simply uses the initrd and everything is available there, you'll be
fine.

I guess it's about time to work on a MEMDISK driver for Linux...
