[syslinux] Comboot menu crashes when it goes off screen

[Aaron McSorley]

Where do I change the text mode.

 Submenu position configuration sounds good, and solves half of the problem.
But, when a menu is longer than the screen length you cant see the bottom
of the menu. Is there a way to make the menu stop at the bottom of the 
screen and have the ability to scroll within the menu.
