here's a kind of solution that "works for me" :

Create a DOS partition and use any DOS variant (FreeDOS, RxDOS, DrDOS) : I
did not manage to have syslinux working : any clues ? Use loadlin to have
the kernel and the initrdfrom the dos partition, and here it goes !

Also have a look at winimage.com's bootpart utility.
