Check stage2/stage2.c file.
Check the:

static void
run_menu (char *menu_entries, char *config_entries, int num_entries,
          char *heap, int entryno)

function and its line:

      print_entries (3, 12, first_entry,
                     entryno, menu_entries);

I think that changing 12 to 5 will force even if you have 20 boot 
entries only 5 are displayed.

If you change the 3 for some other value you can move up/down the menu I 
think also.

Hacking the print_entries function will also help.
