You need the latest code; the menu feature was only pushed about an hour ago!


iPXE now has the ability to generate interactive menus directly from iPXE 
scripts.  For example:

    menu Please choose an operating system to boot
    item fedora   Fedora Linux
    item win7     Windows 7
    choose os
    echo Booting ${os}...

A sample screenshot is attached.  Documentation is currently available at

  http://ipxe.org/cmd/menu
  http://ipxe.org/cmd/item
  http://ipxe.org/cmd/choose


Many thanks to Robin Smidsrød for coming up with the overall design for this 
feature!
