Yes, they are completely different.

One of the things I'd like to see is complex menu switched to using the
com32 console subsystem (which would mean running it on top of the vesa
console should work, too) instead of raw BIOS calls.

For your own purposes, that should work... if you're intending to push
something upstream there needs to be a use case as well as some serious
architecture discussion.

Not for simple menu.
