It's much better to shut down the system cleanly before you load another system. So if you find such program, it's better to run it from /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt > Is the grub executable just some kind of simulator? Am I wasting my time > trying to make GRUB do this? The grub executable actually can install grub on the hard drive, so it's not just a simulator. However, it doesn't support loading the kernels. You can search on Google. I'm almost sure there is such software, but it's not GRUB.
