DEPRECATION WARNING: syslinux support in generate-zbm is deprecated.
Support will be removed in the next release.
As an alternative: consider one of the following two options:
1. Set `Components.Versions` to `false` in the ZFSBootMenu configuration and
maintain a static syslinux configuration.
2. Use the contrib/syslinux-update.sh script in the ZFSBootMenu repository
as a post-image hook for generate-zbm(5).

Configure syslinux
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ``generate-zbm`` image-creation utility includes now-deprecated support for managing a syslinux configuration.
Because this capability is slated for removal and was not reliable in the first place, it is better to create a static
syslinux configuration. The ZFSBootMenu configuration described above disables explicit image versioning, which means

that each invocation of ``generate-zbm`` will produce two output files at a predictable location:
