do i have the syslinux.conf after hd-install too?

I don't see why you wouldn't... I think it's standard with all versions of Linux... Check the root of the boot device.

A hd install works differently than a livecd or poormans install.

A hd install uses the LILO boot manager instead of syslinux

This is why you don't get the Boot Command Line prompt when you are booting from a hard drive install.

So in your case, you need to edit your lilo.conf file and then rerun the lilo program in order to make boot changes.
