+# Config file for Syslinux -
+# /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
+#
+# Comboot modules:
+#   * menu.c32 - provides a text menu
+#   * vesamenu.c32 - provides a graphical menu
+#   * chain.c32 - chainload MBRs, partition boot sectors, Windows bootloaders
+#   * hdt.c32 - hardware detection tool
+#   * reboot.c32 - reboots the system
+#
+# To Use: Copy the respective files from /usr/lib/syslinux to /boot/syslinux.
+# If /usr and /boot are on the same file system, symlink the files instead
+# of copying them.
+#
+# If you do not use a menu, a 'boot:' prompt will be shown and the system
+# will boot automatically after 5 seconds.
+#
+# Please review the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Syslinux
