  #   * Do not use '/syslinux/syslinux.cfg' as the path for this
  #     configuration. UNetbootin will not parse the file and use it as-is.
  #     This results in a broken configuration if the partition label does
  #     not match the specified config.isoImage.volumeID. For this reason
  #     we're using '/isolinux/isolinux.cfg'.
  #   * Use APPEND instead of adding command-line arguments directly after
  #     the LINUX entries.
  #   * COM32 entries (chainload, reboot, poweroff) are not recognized. They
  #     result in incorrect boot entries.
