Bug#460843: please support additional options to use with the default boot option

[Fabian Greffrath]

package: grub2
version: 1.95+20080107-1
severity: wishlist

Dear GRUB-Maintainers,

in the legacy grub package you could specify (citing from menu.lst)

## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5

I consider this a very usefull feature and I miss this in the grub2 
packages. For standard booting I prefer to pass e.g. 'quiet' to the 
kernel, but not for single-user mode.
In the grub2 packages the variable ${GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX} is passed to 
the kernel in both standard and single-user mode. Maybe an additional 
variable (e.g. ${GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT}) could be passed to the 
kernel only in standard mode?

Cheers,
Fabian
