Package: grub-pc
Version:1.97~beta4-1
OS: Debian/unstable
Wish:
In the "Bash 2 guide" posted in ubuntu forums
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
the option of /etc/default/boot
GRUB_DEFAULT="menuentry-label"
is described in detail.
Apparently a patch for that already exists in ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/431179
In my system the option
GRUB_DEFAULT="menuentry-label"
is ignored, see my built grub.cfg
Note that this is not a problem of spaces in the menu-entry name:
set default="Microsoft Windows XP Professionnel (on /dev/hda1)"
because I used additional \" in the /etc/default/grub file.
Having this option would be very useful for people that like me
share their pc with windows-addict persons that are unable to choose
an entry on the menu-list and need windows as default.
As a temporary patch of course I can set
GRUB_DEFAULT=4
but this will be destroyed at next kernel upgrade.
(In Grub Legacy i used the default=saved but this seems still absent
and more difficult to implement).
Thanks
Ric

Description: GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIOS version)
GRUB is a portable, powerful bootloader. This version of GRUB is
based on a cleaner design
than its predecessors, and provides the following new features:
* Scripting in grub.cfg using BASH-like syntax.
* Support for modern partition maps such as GPT.
* Modular generation of grub.cfg via update-grub. Packages providing
GRUB add-ons can plug
in their own script rules and trigger updates by invoking
update-grub2.
* VESA-based graphical mode with background image support and
complete 24-bit color set.
* Support for extended charsets. Users can write UTF-8 text to their
menu entries.
This package contains a version of GRUB that has been built for use
with traditional PC/BIOS
architecture.
