[boot scriptor] Re: cdshell isolinux freeze/reboot?

I checked, but unfortunately I didn't have any comment lines.  I tried
reformatting it a little just in case that was causing problems, but
that didn't work either.

Here's my isolinux.cfg:

default diskemu
timeout 1
prompt 1
display boot.msg
F1 kernels.msg
F2 help.msg

label gentoo
        kernel gentoo
        append initrd=gentoo.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc
looptype=zisofs loop=/zisofs noudev devfs  cdroot vga=791 dokeymap
splash=silent

label gentoo-nofb
        kernel gentoo
        append initrd=gentoo.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc
looptype=zisofs loop=/zisofs noudev devfs  cdroot
               
               
label memtest86
        kernel memtest86

label diskemu
        kernel /diskem1x.bin


Thanks,
Jason
