Yes, things changed a bit in 2.2 ...

This is how our syslinux file looks like on a std floppy:
(we don't use PKGPATH anymore)
---
display syslinux.dpy
timeout 0 
default linux initrd=initrd.lrp init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0
LEAFCFG=/dev/fd0u1680:msdos
---

Packages are now defined in LEAF.CFG, again like this:
---
LRP="root config etc local modules iptables dhcpcd keyboard shorwall ulogd
dnsmasq dropbear weblet"
PKGPATH="/dev/fd0u1680:msdos"
syst_size=6M
log_size=2M
---
