Package: syslinux
Version: 2:3.71+dfsg-5
Severity: normal
In the attached example (built with the script below), the idea is to
automatically
load vesamenu from isolinux.cfg. Then it is possible to quit the vesa menu (to
use
the F1 and F2 help screen. If one press "Enter", default or default64 should be
run.
The way we quit vesamenu is to invoke "config menu.cfg".
The problem it's that before vesamenu.c32, default64 is obeyed... but after we
quit
vesamenu.c32 the entry "default" is obeyed when a user press enter (even for
amd64).

Note: As a work around, in the attached "menu.cfg", it is possible to use
"default run-autodetect" which uses ifcpu64.c32 for cpu detection.
