The problem of the following approach is that using 1 or 2 doesn't work when booted.

cat <<EOF > isolinux.cfg
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 100
KERNEL /isolinux/memdisk
DEFAULT   win98se

EOF

for ff in Boot/*.img; do printf "LABEL $(fname $ff)\n\tAPPEND initrd=$ff\n\n"; done >> !$

$ cat !$
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 100
KERNEL /isolinux/memdisk
DEFAULT   win98se

LABEL TechW0rm
        APPEND initrd=Boot/TechW0rm.img

-f     Follow symbolic links when generating the filesystem.  When this
       option  is not in use, symbolic links will be entered using Rock
       Ridge if enabled, otherwise the file will be ignored.
