I looked at the Suse-9.0 boot config: The code that manages the F-Keys and 
options is actually part of the boot logo. Their isolinux .cfg is almost 
identical to ours.

this one is simple. The only drawback is that you'd need to reboot afterwards 
if you only want to change the framebuffer mode (Last time I checked, it was 
not possible to change FB resolution after boot)

that one would be the one to desire. Especially for people who need special 
boot options and want to test several scenarios (think acpi/apm/...) I'll try 
googling, maybe it's surprisingly easy...
