You get independent control of the initrd and the command line though
the boot_it() Lua function:
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Lua.c32

Unfortunately, 6.03, the latest released Syslinux version has some bugs
in that area, though it may still work just well enough for your
purposes.  Recently I reworked that interface and fixed some bugs, you
may want to test that if you're up to compiling Syslinux yourself; see
