Are you asking about loading an entire directory from the Syslinux boot 
media and passing that directory and its files into Linux' rootfs via 
the initramfs scheme?  If so, while it could be coded, it wouldn't work 
for filesystems that cannot list directory contents, such as PXELINUX' 
TFTP "filesystem."  Is that what you meant?  - Shao
