Will the u-boot on the computer card be happy with these syslinux config directives?
My u-boot skipped some of these with messages like: Ignoring unknown command: ui Ignoring unknown command: totaltimeout
This is probably my fault - I was thrashing around in the dark. But I thought I’d check.
Thanks, Nick

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.
