Introduction to the New Submenu of Syslinux - China DOS Union Forum

In syslinux, you can call different submenus through (vesa)menu.c32.

The new submenus adopt a nested format to implement submenus. The sample is as follows.

When I used version 3.61, when I loaded the dos.img file with the vesamenu.c32 menu, it froze after "starting ms-dos". Is there any way to solve this?

Can you remove the point limit? Your introduction is too little. It's best to make a relevant link

The first floor has two examples of new sub - menu. The method of not using kernel vesamenu.c32 to realize sub - menu. Insert the above examples into syslinux.cfg, pxelinux.cfg, isolinux.cfg and you can see the effect. The red font is the points that should be noted when making this sub - menu.
