default num

Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and

the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.

#

You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry

is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.

WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your

array will desync and will not let you boot your system.

default 4

timeout sec

Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry

(normally the first entry defined).

timeout 5

Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu)

command 'lock'

where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.

e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro

kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro

kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro

kopt=root=UUID=29b243cc-f45d-4e5e-b348-7f6a87307fbb ro

alternative=false

alternative=true

should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options

e.g. lockalternative=true
