Sticky Boot Feature

[Ian Duggan]

Hi,

I was wondering if GRUB had something like a "sticky boot" feature. This
would be a configuration item which would cause GRUB to try to boot the
last menu entry that it successfully booted previously.

I would find this useful as when I'm using Linux and I reboot, 90% of
the time I want to come back to Linux. Likewise when I'm using Windows
or whatever. Especially Windows, given all the rebooting it requires.

If this feature doesn't exist, how hard do would it be to add? Is there
space somewhere in the boot records to store the id of the last
successfully booted system? I imagine there are all sorts of semantics
that could be applied.
