Hello,

I suggest to add the capability to present the menu as an outline.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline#Sample_alphanumeric_outline

Example boot menu:
A) Windows:
- XP
- Vista

B) Linux:
- Knoppix
- Debian
  * Etch
- Red Hat
  * Fedora
- openSUSE
  * 10.2 release
  * 10.3 debug
- Ubuntu
  * Gutsy Gibbon
- Xen
- Real-time

How do you think about such a hierarchical view for the selection of a great
variety of bootable systems?

Regards,
Markus
