I personally find the notion of having to control things to be extremely
clumsy.  That being said, the display stuff in Syslinux does provide the
ability to squelch certain messages from either the serial port or the
console, but that does not extend to the menu system, since that would
mean simultaneously displaying and operating two different menus.
