 Using a complex menu can achieve this. You can really have menus with
submenus, see the complex example in the menu subdir of the sources.

 Hijacking the thread a bit, I noticed that when using pxelinux and
putting a entry like this on the append line:
 append initrd=://dir1/initrd.img other_parameters
makes pxelinux requesing the 'pxe-prefix/di1/initrd.img' file instead
of the desired behaviour  of requesting /dir1/initrd.img'. It works if
I modify the line like this:
   append initrd=tftp_server://dir1/initrd.img other_parameters

 I tried to track this down but did not succeed in understanding why
is this not working, it seems that mangle_name/unmangle_name do their
job well, but I still can't understand why it's not working in this
particular example.
