Boot from CD
Is there an option to trigger the El-Torito Code (Boot from CD) in
syslinux/pxelinux?



Sort of like this:



LABEL CDROM

Chainboot (cd0,0)



Label Floppy

Chainboot (fd0,0)

Not directly, since the El Torito BIOS stack is not available unless the
system booted from CD.

The Simple Boot Manager, mentioned earlier, contains its own El Torito
stack and can be used for this purpose.
