@easyfab thanks for catching that! You are correct. I will fix it now.

awesome and clear write-up a1w.ca. I wonder if it would be possible to have nice syslinux-style GUI for it too.
RE: Dual boot options for ROCK64? - a1w.ca - 01-22-2018
I tried options such as "menu resolution 800 600", "menu with 80" etc.. none seem to work. It seems it support the nice formatting options of a typical syslinux config.

Sorry, I completely messed up my last reply. I meant to say it seems it **doesn't support** the nice formatting options.. but yes you're free to try, hopefully you can figure out something. Thanks!

Ah! no worries. Bit of a pity, but I will give it a go nonetheless.

Is it possible doing a dual boot from ssd & emmc without switching among them?

Anyone have update son this?
I was trying to add multiboot / test out of the box Ayufan's options but couldn't get menu to appear for me but increased timeout increased booting time so it must be out there ...hidden.

I hope you weren't expecting to see it on your monitor, as AFAIK, it's only visible on the serial console, as it should be way too early in the boot process for HDMI and usb keyboard support...
When I'm connected to the serial console, I see a menu similar to this one discussed back in post 8:
