I'll try it out over the weekend, thank you :)

So it does the following?
* read (fd)config.sys
* add/override parameters from Memdisk
* (put stuff in right sequence?)
* execute
Which statements can a user override? I imagine DEVICE= might be more
troublesome, unless you compare to filename and only allow parameters to
be altered (wouldn't recommend appending parameters)
e.g:
SYSLINUX.CFG: APPEND INITRD=FDBOOT.IMG
FD={SWITCHES=/F}{MENUDEFAULT=1,0}{1?DEVICE=A:\JEMMEX.EXE NOEMS FASTBOOT}
CONFIG.SYS: 1?DEVICE=A:\JEMMEXE.EXE I=B000-B7FF

Your more complex solution seems worthwile, it's often easier to modify
the Syslinux configuration file rather than update config.sys inside of
image files.
