Syslinux - Apr 2004 - Comboot menu crashes when it goes off screen

It works!

Now, is there a way to use this handler multiple times so different
submenus can have different position values.

It is possible to do that easily (almost trivial change).

But the question is whether it should be done. In your menupos_handler, 
you get the menulevel as a parameter. So in your case (4 menu's arch -> 
mboard -> vendor -> revision) each of the menu's will come with a 
different value of menulevel (0=arch, 1=mboard, 2=vendor, 3=revision). 
So you should be able to decide the position based on that.

Actually I did think about it for some time, whether I should give the 
exact menu also as a parameter. I decided that the general look and feel 
of the system should only depend on the parent menu's position, the 
selected item and level of submenu. In particular it should not depend 
on the actual submenu chosen. But I am open for arguments as to why I 
should let it depend on the actual menu in question.
