[syslinux] Comboot menu crashes when it goes off screen

[ganapathy murali krishnan]

To change the text mode, use setvideomode function (in biosio.h). You 
need to refer to the BIOS interrupt documentation to find out the exact 
mode you need.

Currently I dont see a simple fix to add the ability to scroll within a 
menu. But I will think about this more and in any case add it to my TODO 
list.
