Looks correct to me, although personally, I would set a prompt/timeout of 5
or so in case I ever wanted to use the disk for something else. If you don't
type anything for 5 seconds, it goes with your default. If you do type
something, you can override your vnc settings, etc.

'linux' is the label. When you're typing the command in from the prompt, you
have to tell isolinux which thing you want to boot. Your append syntax is
correct.
