 i have no idea - as in, you're the first person i've heard of who has
used the combination of u-boot and sysconfig.  most people in the
embedded world use u-boot to specify one and only one linux kernel,
using u-boot parameters to do it, editing uEnv.txt (if the version of
u-boot supports that) or boot.cmd (if the version of u-boot supports
that and its conversion to boot.scr).

 if there's a version of u-boot that supports syslinux you'd need to
track it down and follow the documentation on that.  i've just tried
using mainline u-boot and it works fine so chances are you'll be ok.
