A feature-complete sophisticated boot menu designed from the ground up. The delay "loading boot menu" seems longer than it used to be. Perhaps this is because I never paid attention or maybe because the "progress bar" with the dots draws attention to it. Regardless this loader makes a lot more sense to me than the original. I've always wanted to be able to be into SUM && verbose logging or other combinations. I tested this on a Lenovo G530 laptop and it seems to work fine with a few different combinations as well as at the prompt. Thanks for your work! -- Eitan Adler
