RE: syslinux question

To make the question clear... 

What I want is to have a small menu when I boot my RH installation cd that
asks if I want to boot from the CD, or from the local drive. This is because
I don't want to have to remove the CD from the drive after the installation
and the reboot. 

When using isolinux for boot on cd one can specify a label like this:
label local
	localboot 0x80

So when I boot up and the boot.msg message is shown and I'm prompted for
further action, I can type: local to boot from hd0

I haven't found a similar syslinux command to boot from a local drive? Can
it be done? How?

Best Regards,
Peter Lewandowski

Never tried it, but if I were to make a guess, I'd create a small MSDOS
partition on the hard disk and put syslinux there.  Then, using fdisk,
mark the partition as bootable.  Maybe use MSDOS's fdisk, too.

If you try and succeed, please post.
