I use this:

cat <<EOF > /boot/menu.rc.local
set mainmenu_caption[7]="[F]edora"
set mainmenu_command[7]="chain disk0s6:"
set mainmenu_keycode[7]=102
set mainansi_caption[7]="^[1mF^[medora"

set mainmenu_caption[8]="[W]indows"
set mainmenu_command[8]="chain disk0s2:"
set mainmenu_keycode[8]=119
set mainansi_caption[8]="^[1mW^[mindows"
EOF
