[boot scriptor] Re: Problem entering semi-colon in text string

You should be able to escape a semicolon using $;

The relevant info is buried in the documentation on this page:
http://www.cdshell.org/doc/varref.html (under Using Variables (reading)).

Hopefully that will work and the semicolon will pass all the way down to 
isolinux.
