So, the problem is that with newer syslinux (newer than 5.00) it uses
ELF as format for its modules. Those modules needs to be in same dir as
the syslinux.cfg. This means that we need to move syslinux.cfg
to /boot/syslinux/ (or move all .c32 modules to / which i dont like)

I wonder if we should let setup-bootable do that automatically.

Or maybe we should let setup-bootable detect this problem and exit with
error, giving a hint that it could be run with an optional -m arg (-m
for 'move syslinux.cfg')

-nc
