I just created something very similar for one of my own projects. I have a disk image that you can "dd" onto a hard drive or USB drive and a bash script demonstrating how it was done here: https://www.syslinux.org/archives/2019-July/026476.html You don't actually need the patch for the dual BIOS/UEFI support. The patch in the above link is just to enable the reading of config "snippits" from a "entries" directory. Feel free to try out the provided disk image to see if it meets your needs and reverse-engineer...

The option for us would be syslinux EFI boot. To avoid too many changes we would like to generate an image for our different hardware parts that supports both - classic BIOS boot and (U)EFI boot. This would allow us to leave

...s stuck with just about two text lines, as if nothing got loaded... Tomorrow I'll try the branch prepared by Sebastian Herbszt, mentioned here: https://www.syslinux.org/archives/2019-July/026484.html I've also found Gregory's patch here: https://www.syslinux.org/archives/2019-July/026476.html If I understand this correctly, it doesn't fix the buggy strncat Gregory has mentioned - the patch adds support for another boot image format called BLS1 (now becoming popular).
