Syslinux.cfg multiple partition boot plz help

[SirKLZA]

Hi. I need help with multi-booting from different partitions using syslinux.cfg. I have a 2GB USB, successfully created two partitions and installed two linux-based OSes on each. The OSes are using syslinux.cfg as boot loader in each partition. In order to boot one or the other, I have to make that partition active. I'd like modify only one of the syslinux.cfg files to accomplish booting into whichever partition I want, rarther than using a partition manager to make the partition 'active' in order to boot.

I'd like to modify the syslinux.cfg to look something like this:

label OS1 (on 1st Partition)
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=

label OS2 (on 2nd Partition)
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=

Can this be accomplished? or is there a way to "activate" the other partition then reboot via syslinux.cfg?
