For building my ISOs, I put a tiny syslinux.cfg in the root directory
that INCLUDEs my main config and use paths relative to that (no
leading "/").  This allows the same config file on the ISO as the USB
and the same LABEL statements in my PXELINUX config files (or I could
just INCLUDE the syslinux.cfg or main config).
