As Grub supports multi-level menus, I would suggest that the "neatest"
solution would be a number of "false" menu entries at the top level,
each of which is titled with a line from the disclaimer. Each menu THEN
links through to a secondary menu which is the real boot menu.
So something along the lines of:
submenu "Disclaimer:" {
menuentry "Linux" {
linux /vmlinuz
initrd /initrd.img
}
menuentry "Windows" {
chainloader ...
}
}
submenu "Do not use this computer" {
menuentry "Linux" {
linux /vmlinuz
initrd /initrd.img
}
menuentry "Windows" {
chainloader ...
}
}
submenu " unless authorised " {
menuentry "Linux" {
linux /vmlinuz
initrd /initrd.img
}
menuentry "Windows" {
chainloader ...
}
}
