Bug#515721: live-helper: Boot methods there, but commented out



Package: live-helper
Version: 1.0.4-1
Severity: normal

I notice that the boot methods exist in the file live.cfg, but are
commented out.

Specifically, the file
/usr/share/live-helper/templates.debian/syslinux/common/live.cfg
contains the commented-out lines
#label floppy
#       localboot 0x00

#label disk1
#       localboot 0x80

#label disk2
#       localboot 0x81

#label nextboot
#        localboot -1

After installing a live system on a USB flash drive, I uncommented the
nextboot lines, and that boot method (which, incidentally, is not mentioned
in the help, unlike disk1 and disk2), worked correctly.
