menuconfig is from the Linux kernel source itself. That source includes
data files that provide the categorized choices and available answers and
also brief documentation for each choice. (That same data is used for the
curses-based interface and the X11-based interface.) Also if you choose
one option, it make make available more choices (based on that).

I don't know of any data or programs to do same for NetBSD.

Maybe your Thinkpad's BIOS (or CMOS) has an option for choosing
full-screen usage. (I have seen and fixed this before on a few laptops.)
