I was afraid you were gonna say that. ;)
Yeah, maybe I should try getting used to using names instead
of numbers. Although,

grub-reboot <num>
(frequent use) is easier for me to remember than
grub-reboot <long-and-cryptic-string-that-might-also-change>

...but hey, grub-reboot seems to have tab completion!
*makes mental note*


Anyway, case closed I guess, thank you for the reminder,
pardon me for wasting our time.
