Just a bit more info - the printed menu is 1-origin, but it starts with 
the 2nd "Boot single user" line.  It looks like this:

        1. Boot single user
        2. Disable ACPI
        3. Disable ACPI and SMP
        4. Drop to boot prompt
        5. Run memory test

So, it is actually completely ignoring my first menu line!

        menu=Boot normally


Anyone else seeing this?
