May I suggest a slightly different formulation of this idea which has a
bit of tidying-up?
menuentry "Disclaimer:" {
configfile /boot/grub/menu.cfg
}
menuentry "Do not use this computer" {
configfile /boot/grub/menu.cfg
}
menuentry " unless authorised " {
configfile /boot/grub/menu.cfg
}
menu.cfg would contain
menuentry "Linux" {
linux /vmlinuz
initrd /initrd.img
}
menuentry "Windows" {
chainloader ...
}
Either way, the OP would have to consider how to handle update-grub.
