Thanks.
Can they be booted without media?
I tried the following stanza:
title Install Fedora17-3-28 from iso
 	root (hd0,2)
 	pause have rooted (hd0,2)
 	find   /isolinux17-3-28/vmlinuz0
 	pause have finded
 	kernel /isolinux17-3-28/vmlinuz0 askmethod noacpi root=/dev/ram0
 	pause have kerneled
 	find   /isolinux17-3-28/initrd0.img
 	pause have finded
 	initrd /isolinux17-3-28/initrd0.img
 	pause have initrded

I got a dracut warning: signal caught
attempt to kill inint
no or empty root argument
It didn't boot.
Adding root=/dev/ram0 to the kernel line got me told no such device.
