Apparently wimboot is intolerant of this particular commandline style.

SYSLINUX appears intolerant of this style which is probably more in
tune with what wimboot likes:


LABEL E6320
  MENU LABEL ^Latitude E6320
  KERNEL wimboot
  APPEND initrd=Windows7SP2/boot/bcd initrd=Windows7SP2/boot/boot.sdi
initrd=Windows7SP2/sources/boot.wim


SYSLINUX only loads the first file.  It seems you'll need to load iPXE
(unless someone else knows a workaround...)
