It's very nice to see progress in this field, and this is clearly a dessign
improvement over the previous patches floating around, but I think it's
still incomplete.

How do you tell grub to boot a particular entry only _once_ without modifying
menu.lst manualy? As I understand it, grub-set-default sets the default
permanently. Perhaps we should add a FIFO list in /boot/grub/default that
GRUB pops from untill a terminator integer is found (e.g. -1). What do you
think?
