syslinux command line?

[kickstart-list at bias.org]

How do you get command-line on the compaq servers?

I don't recall see option for that.  I usually press F12 for PXE boot.

We are having problems with PXE not working through Extreme Network Black
Diamonds.  The PXE will timeout while port is configured for spanning tree
and networking can't/won't turn that off.  Being able to configure network
some other way may be perfect workaround.

Thanks,
Liston
