As mentioned, <LF> alone are the proper way to end lines on a Linux system. Curiously the file isolinux.cfg (syslinux.cfg too?) doesn't seem to have a problem if there are <CR><LF> in it.
My RFE is that perhaps the parsing of LEAF.CFG can be made tolerant of the <CR> characters just as the parsing of isolinux.cfg is?

In support of this RFE: it may reduce the stumbles that a new user (DOS/Windows) has, and that it may reduce some tech-support queries posted to this list.
Against this RFE: it'll take someone's time to effect this, and that if not by mucking LEAF.CFG and discovering that <CR>'s don't belong in the Linux world then a new user might well encounter this fact elsewhere, with some other file ... where it is perhaps less obvious and thus more confounding.
In support of this RFE: it is somewhat likely that no files other then sys/isolinux.cfg and leaf.cfg would get edited in DOS since all other files are 'hidden' inside .LRP files and would normally be edited on the LEAF box itself.

Sorry, a correction: that specific error (": not found") appears only if:
a) one has blank lines in LEAF.CFG and
b) there are <CF><LF> in this file.There are other symptoms of <CR><LF> within LEAF.CFG:
(FWIW I have a CD-ROM on hda [boot-device] and a h/d on hdb [unused] - possibly this impacts the reported "03:00" within the "... device 03:00" message?)
- pivot_root: pivot_root: Device or resource busy
- VFS: Can't find a Minix or Minix V2 filesystem on device 03:00. - FAT: bogus logical sector size 0 - VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 03:00.
- umount: /initrd: Invalid argument - freeramdisk: failed ioctl on /dev/ram0: Device or resource busy
- LEAF Bering-uClibc V2.2.0 uClibc-0.9.20 (none) ttyS0 - (none) login: - where instead of the firewall name one gets this (none)
- the packages get installed ("LINUXRC: Installing - root: ...") but not loaded or run.
