Missing feature?

[Ron Addie]

I am sorry if this is an inappropriate destination for this msg.
Please advise a different destination if you are unable to help.

I would like to be able to set an environmental variable from
within my grub configuration file -- so that I can see, from
within the boot scripts such as rc.local, which loading option
was selected in the grub menu.

Is this possible? How can it be done?\
