is it possible to add a command to one of the menu's that will boot straight from the cd-rom drive, floppy drive or harddrive? i know you can do it in ISOlinux but i have no idea if you can do it in Easy Boot.

The command "boot 80" will boot to the HD while the command "boot 0" will boot to the first available floppy drive.As for the CD-ROM drive, if you are looking at an EasyBoot menu then you already have booted straight from the CD-ROM!

i just noticed this but these commands dont work i typed them in and when i select the menu for sum odd reason it brings me to one of my other menus completely unrelated to the option like the boot to the harddrive option would bring me to my fdisk menu....

Please double check the coresponding command to menu item before post your 'unrelated' question here.

what are you talking about? this isnt an "unrelated question" i started this topic and my last post pertains to this exactly! i wanted to say that the boot 80 and boot 0 commands dont work they bring me to a menu on my boot menu instead of booting to the device that its supposed to!
*edit*
my fault i just checked my boot menu out of curiousity and for some reason i had so that it WOULD run that menu instead of the designated drive. im sorry for flippin out....
