Perhaps some items could be moved to a 2nd level menu?

1) boot multiuser mode ( default )
2) boot single user mode
3) menu to set boot options
4) help

That's with 6.x, 7,x and 8.x, currently running 8.2.  I haven't
looked to see if anything has changed in CVS since 8.2.  I'll

moment and windows when the machine is free keep getting smaller
and less frequent.
