Wait, if I understand this correctly, maybe completely escaping from
the menu is making it more complicated than necessary?  If you select
an option and hit tab, menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32 give you an edit line
where you can edit the command line to be used for that particular
boot option.  This would allow you to add your custom parameters for
booting.  It's one of my favorite features of the menu system
sometimes as I use it often to change a default vga= statement and
sometimes to add a keymap (I'm a Dvorak user.)
