So do you see your menu after having pressed ENTER? If so, all you have 
to do is change PROMPT 1 into PROMPT 0
Alternatives are:
1) add a timeout so you boot into menu screen
2) use the UI MENU.C32 command in syslinux.cfg

You're basicly done once the menu shows up. Ady fixed your configuration 
file already. Often it's quite a nice idea to see how distributions like 
UBCD, PartedMagic, Ubuntu, Koppix, Fedora and others set their menu 
system in the syslinux.cfg (and/or isolinux.cfg) files.

Afterwards, a bit of copy/paste does miracles (per GPL requirements 
ofcourse)
