	On the sandbox called without "--terminal raw" CTRL+C leaves U-Boot, "ESC/CTRL+C to quit" is misleading. Let's remove CTRL+C to quit key handling from bootmenu and eficonfig menu.

bootmenu command
 | 
						|
================
 | 
						|
 |

Synopsis
 | 
						|
--------
 | 
						|
::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    bootmenu [delay]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Description
 | 
						|
-----------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The "bootmenu" command uses U-Boot menu interfaces and provides
 | 
						|
a simple mechanism for creating menus with different boot items.
 | 
						|
The cursor keys "Up" and "Down" are used for navigation through
 | 
						|
the items. Current active menu item is highlighted and can be
 | 
						|
selected using the "Enter" key. The selection of the highlighted
 | 
						|
menu entry invokes an U-Boot command (or a list of commands)
 | 
						|
associated with this menu entry.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The "bootmenu" command interprets ANSI escape sequences, so
 | 
						|
an ANSI terminal is required for proper menu rendering and item
 | 
						|
selection.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The assembling of the menu is done via a set of environment variables
 | 
						|
"bootmenu_<num>" and "bootmenu_delay", i.e.::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    bootmenu_delay=<delay>
 | 
						|
    bootmenu_<num>="<title>=<commands>"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<delay>
 | 
						|
    is the autoboot delay in seconds, after which the first
 | 
						|
    menu entry will be selected automatically
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<num>
 | 
						|
    is the boot menu entry number, starting from zero
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<title>
 | 
						|
    is the text of the menu entry shown on the console
 | 
						|
    or on the boot screen
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<commands>
 | 
						|
    are commands which will be executed when a menu
 | 
						|
    entry is selected
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Title and commands are separated by the first appearance of a '='
 | 
						|
character in the value of the environment variable.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The first (optional) argument of the "bootmenu" command is a delay specifier
 | 
						|
and it overrides the delay value defined by "bootmenu_delay" environment
 | 
						|
variable. If the environment variable "bootmenu_delay" is not set or if
 | 
						|
the argument of the "bootmenu" command is not specified, the default delay
 | 
						|
will be CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. If delay is 0, no menu entries will be shown on
 | 
						|
the console (or on the screen) and the command of the first menu entry will
 | 
						|
be called immediately. If delay is less then 0, bootmenu will be shown and
 | 
						|
autoboot will be disabled.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Bootmenu always adds menu entry "U-Boot console" at the end of all menu
 | 
						|
entries specified by environment variables. When selecting this entry
 | 
						|
the bootmenu terminates and the usual U-Boot command prompt is presented
 | 
						|
to the user.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example environment::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    setenv bootmenu_0 Boot 1. kernel=bootm 0x82000000  # Set first menu entry
 | 
						|
    setenv bootmenu_1 Boot 2. kernel=bootm 0x83000000  # Set second menu entry
 | 
						|
    setenv bootmenu_2 Reset board=reset                # Set third menu entry
 | 
						|
    setenv bootmenu_3 U-Boot boot order=boot           # Set fourth menu entry
 | 
						|
    bootmenu 20        # Run bootmenu with autoboot delay 20s
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The above example will be rendered as below::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    *** U-Boot Boot Menu ***
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
       Boot 1. kernel
 | 
						|
       Boot 2. kernel
 | 
						|
       Reset board
 | 
						|
       U-Boot boot order
 | 
						|
       U-Boot console
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Hit any key to stop autoboot: 20
 | 
						|
    Press UP/DOWN to move, ENTER to select
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The selected menu entry will be highlighted - it will have inverted
 | 
						|
background and text colors.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
UEFI boot variable enumeration
 | 
						|
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
 | 
						|
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
 | 
						|
 * user-defined UEFI boot options
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The bootmenu automatically enumerates the possible bootable
 | 
						|
media devices supporting EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL.
 | 
						|
This auto generated entry is named as "<interface> <devnum>:<part>" format.
 | 
						|
(e.g. "usb 0:1")
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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".
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example bootmenu is as below::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    *** U-Boot Boot Menu ***
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
       mmc 0:1
 | 
						|
       mmc 0:2
 | 
						|
       debian
 | 
						|
       nvme 0:1
 | 
						|
       ubuntu
 | 
						|
       nvme 0:2
 | 
						|
       usb 0:2
 | 
						|
       U-Boot console
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Default behavior when user exits from the bootmenu
 | 
						|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 | 
						|
User can exit from bootmenu by selecting the last entry
 | 
						|
"U-Boot console"/"Quit" or ESC key.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When the CONFIG_BOOTMENU_DISABLE_UBOOT_CONSOLE is disabled,
 | 
						|
user exits from the bootmenu and returns to the U-Boot console.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When the CONFIG_BOOTMENU_DISABLE_UBOOT_CONSOLE is enabled, user can not
 | 
						|
enter the U-Boot console. When the user exits from the bootmenu,
 | 
						|
the bootmenu invokes the following default behavior.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * if CONFIG_CMD_BOOTEFI_BOOTMGR is enabled, execute "bootefi bootmgr" command
 | 
						|
 * "bootefi bootmgr" fails or is not enabled, then execute "run bootcmd" command.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Configuration
 | 
						|
-------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The "bootmenu" command is enabled by::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONFIG_CMD_BOOTMENU=y
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To run the bootmenu at startup add these additional settings::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED=y
 | 
						|
    CONFIG_BOOTDELAY=30
 | 
						|
    CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_MENU_SHOW=y
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
UEFI boot variable enumeration is enabled by::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONFIG_CMD_BOOTEFI_BOOTMGR=y
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To improve the product security, entering U-Boot console from bootmenu
 | 
						|
can be disabled by::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONFIG_BOOTMENU_DISABLE_UBOOT_CONSOLE=y
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To scan the discoverable devices connected to the buses such as
 | 
						|
USB and PCIe prior to bootmenu showing up, CONFIG_PREBOOT can be
 | 
						|
used to run the command before showing the bootmenu, i.e.::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONFIG_USE_PREBOOT=y
 | 
						|
    CONFIG_PREBOOT="pci enum; usb start; scsi scan; nvme scan; virtio scan"
 |
