I mean when boot.msg is displayed you normally get the options of
looking at the rescue.msg, expert.msg etc (default Fx-keys). I have
changed the options to F1-Install WS1 F2-Install WS2. I don't know how
to change syslinux.cfg to start an install when pressing Fx-keys rather
than showing a message.
eg:
Normal install:
Boot with cd or floppy made from the RedHat cd's
boot.msg shows some information.
User presses F5 to see the rescue message
(according to syslinux.cfg: F5 rescue.msg)

My install:
Boot with customized cd or floppy
boot.msg shows some customized information
User presses F2 to do an install with ks-ws2.cfg
(according to syslinux.cfg: <need help here>
