Package: grub
Version: 0.94+cvs20040511-1
Severity: normal

Neither grub-reboot, nor manually telling grub to

  savedefault --default=3D1 --once

or

  savedefault --once --default=3D1

make grub boot the second stanza. In fact, savedefault doesn't seem
to work at all.

I have tried with

  default saved

in menu.lst, and with

  default 0

and even though every stanza has the 'savedefault' directive, grub
will boot the first stanza *no matter what*.

I would love to see this fixed. If a fix is not possible, then
please remove the 'savedefault --once' patch, the grub-reboot
script, and include a reference in README.Debian accordingly.

Thanks,
