I solved my own problem by building the rpms from the lastest syslinux
and nasm source. Thank you syslinux project crew for including the spec
file.

Subject: Does not auto boot after time out
I am having difficulty trying to figure out how to get a computer to
boot from it's local disk automatically after the pxe menu times out.
I installed syslinux-3.11-4 with yum onto CentOS 5.5
It boots to the local disk if I select Local from the menu and press
enter but it never times out and boots localy.
The AUTOBOOT message doesn't appear either.
Which instructions in the PXELINUX Wiki
(http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX) am I not
understanding correctly?
Here's my files and directory structure:
/tftboot/menu.c32
/tftboot/menu.cfg
/tftboot/pxelinux.0
/tftboot/CentOS5.5-netboot-vmlinuz
/tftboot/CentOS5.5-netboot-initrd.img
/tftboot/memdisk
Here's my /tftboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file:
default menu.c32 menu.cfg
prompt 0
Here's /tftboot/menu.cfg
MENU TITLE PXE Boot Menu
MENU AUTOBOOT Starting Localy in # seconds
