(www.auersoft.eu doesn't seem to work atm but this is a mirror)

However your extension for supporting first (or multiple) memdisk 
parameters is quite nice. I've got a Syslinux on FAT, loading FreeDOS 
ISO image (in RAM using recent MEMDISK), which in turn again contains 
Isolinux + memdisk + floppy image (containing eltorito.sys to gain 
access to the ISO).
