ok this is what i was looking for, from the lilo man page :-
-R command line
This option sets the default command for the boot
loader the next time it executes. The boot loader
will then erase this line: this is a once-only

I don't think this is what you are looking for. This sets the command
line, not the default kernel (I think, didn't check).
In order to do what you want, you'll need a "mv" command inside grub:

The idea to somehow control boot operation without human interaction
is an interesting one. Actually, one of the reasons I got to use grub
is to be able to hack in my code more easily -- tried several times to
understand lilo's internals but gave up after hours.
What I personally want to do is

I didn't look at filesystem code in grub, but I don't think it should
be too difficult to implement "mv". The only issue I see is that
currently FS access is read-only, while in this case you require write

Hi.
What I personally want to do is enabling the boot loader to read some
input and use that information to choose the default menu entry.
It strikes me, as an interesting idea, as well. And one which I
would like to follow the activities of.
But Okuji is right, diskless boot is a good

hi,
I was wondering if someone could give me some advice regarding grub and
or bootloaders.
What i'm trying to achieve is failsafe bootloading of a kernel when a
kernel upgrade to a remote server has occurred. I have to be sure that
the machine will reboot successfully. Because I will not have

At boot time the bootloader would change the default kernel to the
failsafe one and boot the new kernel. Thus if the new kernel hangs, the
machine will after a certain amount of time reboot

why not ? I'm looking for a way to change the kernel which is being booted
automatically rather than from the grub prompt, if we can choose at the
console what kernel i wish to boot ? why

I dont wish to communicate with the bootlaoder at all. Its a simple matter
of changing the default kernel to a failsafe one, so that if the new
kernel fails the failsafe one will boot
