i agree that putting them on the append line is cleaner, but as i read it,
you can also put them on the "default" line, according to the
/usr/share/doc/syslinux/syslinux.doc file:
DEFAULT kernel options...
Sets the default command line. If SYSLINUX boots automatically,
it will act just as if the entries after DEFAULT had been typed
in at the "boot:" prompt, except that the option "auto" is
automatically added, indicating an automatic boot.
i think i'll stick with adding the extra stanza. thanks.
