Bug#412652: AW: Bug#412652: Etch: grub-reboot is working, but does not save the topmost menu.lst entry from being used

[Clemens Perz]

Hi Dorileo,

meanwhile I proved your good guess :) This was a new machine installed by a
service provider and I did not at all think about the 'default' config
statement. Now changing "default 0" to "default saved" and "savedefault" in
entry 2 to "savedefault 0" did the trick. Just like the docs say. 

Sorry for disturbing :-/

Clemens
