As of syslinux 3.54 sub menu support was added. The following example will create a top level menu option of "rPath Linux" with two sub levels of "rPath Linux 1.0.7" and "rPath Linux 2 Beta 2". Example: menu begin rpl menu label rPath Linux label - menu label rPath Linux 1.0.7 menu disabled label 1.0.7 menu indent 1 kernel 1.0.7/vmlinuz append initrd=1.0.7/initrd.img label 1.0.7-x86_64 menu indent 1 kernel 1.0.7-x86_64/vmlinuz append initrd=1.0.7-x86_64/initrd.img menu separator label - menu label rPath Linux 2 Beta 2 menu disabled label rpl2-beta2 menu indent 1 kernel rpl2-beta2/vmlinuz append initrd=rpl2-beta2/initrd.img menu separator menu end > Another problem you'll run into with menu.c32 is that it does not offer > a working timeout -- so once you PXE to engage the menu, the user must > choose from the menu... so in my case I default to "default", and > menu.c32 is the "menu" target -- so to pull up the menu you have to type > "menu" at the syslinux prompt before it times out to "default". Not sure what version the timeout issue was fixed in, but it works in 3.62.
