Details

Description:
if user chooses to install syslinux as bootloader the read-only parameter is not in the append lines of /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg

It's not in the template: http://projects.archlinux.org/archboot.git/tree/usr/share/archboot/installer/setup?id=7616922b44a7b00a574293282c0fa150ce2ccbc6#n3228

while it is present in the grub template: http://projects.archlinux.org/archboot.git/tree/usr/share/archboot/installer/setup?id=7616922b44a7b00a574293282c0fa150ce2ccbc6#n3499

I guess that the later is how it is intended to be.

Additional info:
* archboot 2011.06-1

Steps to reproduce:
- use archboot image to install
- choose to install syslinux as bootloader
- check in /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg that the append lines is missing the ro option
This task depends upon
