Most of my entries are "boot this linux kernel" and it's useful there
(namely so that installers can figure out what NIC to DHCP out of for
machines with multiple NICs).  Only a few are non-linux - I'm not
complaining, just stating my use case :-)

There is a workaround I've discovered - using "UI menu.c32 ~" allows
it to work nicely.

Thanks,

Adrian
