Unetbootin generates a file named syslinux.cfg in the parent directory
of the USB stick. You can modify it because the stick is not protected,
unlike using dd. Here you are an example:

default menu.c32
prompt 0
menu title [...]
timeout 100

label ubnentry0
menu label ^[...]
kernel /live/vmlinuz
append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live config locales=en_US.UTF-8
keyb=es quiet splash

label ubnentry1
[... etc ...]

Use the content of isolinux/menu.cfg for that.

Cheers,

Aitor.
