Here is how I use it: The first menu entry is 0 which points to my latest kernel. The second menu entry points to a submenu where all kernels are listed. So if I want to boot the third entry in the second menu I just type as root: # grub-reboot "1>2" As we all know, grub starts counting at 0 ;-) so this means: Reboot the _third_ (2) entry in the _second_ (1) menu. grub-reboot(8): ... MENU_ENTRY is a number, a menu item title or a menu item identifier. Please note that menu items in submenus or sub-submenus require specifying the submenu components and then the menu item component. The titles should be separated using the greater-than character (>) with no extra spaces. Depending on your shell some characters including > may need escaping.
