Not sure about that, haven't used lua. But I was able to replicate the
same menu that syslinux used to have, and you can scroll to select the
choice you want. The link that calls kickstart for my RHEL9 menuentry
looks like this:
linux images/rhel/9.0/vmlinuz inst.stage2http://192.168.10.205/repo/rhel9/base
inst.ip=dhcp inst.kssendmac inst.kshttp://192.168.10.205/ks/rhel9.cfg
Hope that helps..
