+If enabled, the bootmenu command will automatically generate and add
+UEFI-related boot menu entries for the following items.

+ * possible bootable media with default file names

+The bootmenu automatically enumerates the possible bootable

+The bootmenu displays the UEFI-related menu entries in order of "BootOrder".
+When the user selects the UEFI boot menu entry, the bootmenu sets
+the selected boot variable index to "BootNext" without non-volatile attribute,
+then call the uefi boot manager with the command "bootefi bootmgr".
