hi, with uboot mainline uboot you can use menu like lilo grub
See the option extlinux
My /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf basically contains this:
menu title LIME2 boot menu
timeout 10
ontimeout linux
LABEL linux
KERNEL /boot/zImage
fdt /boot/sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime2.dtb
append root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 console=ttyS0,115200 ro rootwait
An exmple image with select menu for hdmi and/or serial
