Thanks for the info.
Yes, I previously did not have a menu, for Puppy Linux and Quicky. It
is only now I am considering a menu. The example I gave was just an
example, I am thinking of more menu entries. For example:
This is using vesamenu.c32, example /EFI/BOOT/syslinux.cfg:
-----------
ui vesamenu.c32
menu title Easy OS
default normal
timeout 100
label normal
menu label Normal startup
kernel ../../vmlinuz
append root=/dev/sda3 rootwait rw
label nox
menu label Commandline only, do not start X
kernel ../../vmlinuz
append root=/dev/sda3 rootwait rw qfix=nox
label fsck
menu label Filsystem check of working partition
kernel ../../vmlinuz
append root=/dev/sda3 rootwait rw qfix=fsck
label bak
menu label Rollback to previous snapshot
kernel ../../vmlinuz
append root=/dev/sda3 rootwait rw qfix=bak
---------------
As I mentioned in the first post, there is a different problem when
using vesamenu.c32, a blinking cursor to left of the menu.
Here is a photo:

...it blinks black and white.
