I recently updated my debain system from 0.95 to .96 and grub-reboot
seems to be missing from the install. Also savedefault no longer works
at the command line.

    GNU GRUB  version 0.97  (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)

 [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.  For the first word, TAB
   lists possible command completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
   completions of a device/filename. ]

grub> savedefault

Error 27: Unrecognized command

grub> savedefault 1

Error 27: Unrecognized command

grub> savedefault 3

Error 27: Unrecognized command

grub>



I copied the stage files over after I did make install and I ran
grub-install /dev/hda.  Although I've seen other people ask about this
problem .. I have not seen anyone post a solution and was wondering if
you guys have it figured out yet?

I've also tried "grub-save-default" and when it rebooted no changes
were made. It just booted into the normal system.

The splash screen shows the correct version on boot.. so I know I am
using the current code. Suggestions?
