Boot menu? - Solra Bizna - 11-13-2019

I notice that extlinux.conf contains multiple entries, clearly organized as if I should be seeing some sort of menu at boot. Yet, I don't.

Three obvious possibilities:

- There's not actually a menu
- There's a menu, but it's not enabled
- There's a menu and it's enabled, but it goes out on the serial port

Is there a way to get a visible boot menu?

I looked into doing this with syslinux/extlinux on x86 and it seems that those methods involve adding executable things to /boot/extlinux. All the things I found were 32- or 64-bit x86, which obviously(?) won't work on the PBP.
