It should be noted to anybody reading this thread with questions about bootmenu, the .zip contains a perfectly good README, so do what the file says and read it. . . .
It is probably common sense to the Linux guru or GA, but not to the Linux uninitiated. If you want to modify the bootmenu.conf.example, you have to do it with a word processor that DO NOT add a LF/return to the end of the line. Leafpad, vi, emelfm2 are OK, M$Word, tablet/notes, notepad, wordpad are NOT OK. Penalty? It ranges from bootmenu showed up with 'funny' character at the end of the choice or, even worse, continous reboot. If continuous reboot, dont panic, just press the escape button at the menu screen, and hold on to it, that will take you to a flash boot for you to change things. Do not have to reflash for this reason.

Why do bun knows it? Cause I was there , painfully and panick.
Hope this helps someone,

bun
