Mailing List Archive: Booting from HDD

A kernel statement only works under a label statement, so if the docs
say localboot works like a kernel image, I would expect it to appear
under a label. I don't see any problem with the docs.

this works for me.

DEFAULT local
TIMEOUT 100
PROMPT 1
DISPLAY pxelinux.cfg/f0.txt
LABEL nfs
KERNEL kernel
APPEND root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp
LABEL local
LOCALBOOT 0
