At this time, no.  Altering vesamenu.c32/menu.32 to be able to present
that information is possible.  It would probably be easier at this
time to create another COM32 module that displays this information.

With my work on a PXE Chainload COM32 module, I already have some code
collected for this purpose as I'm using it to visually debug the data
I'm examining/creating.  Not all of the data is in a nice format but
it's all there if you know how to interpret the data (integer, dotted
decimal, string, etc) from hex bytes.  It might be better to have a
module that displays environment information regardless of the variant
showing 1-3 lines of info normally and more with a verbose argument..

That said, hdt.c32 will currently present some of this information.
