I'm fairly sure that you'll have to put the password within the stanza.
It's certainly the expected method, but I can't test whether it's
actually required, unless I reboot at the moment. And I don't want to
reboot. I'd expect anything in the middle of them to be presumed to
belong to the end of the previous stanza.
i.e. I expect it to be done like this:
title Memtest86+ (2.11)
password --md5 $differentpassword
lock
root (hd0,1)
kernel --type=netbsd /elf-memtest86+-2.11
Options for stanzas are read from within them, top to bottom. In this
case, the first one sets the password, the second line halts further
processing until the password is entered. Once entered, it would
process the next two commands.
