Dear Gentoo Community,

I was wondering if anyone knew how (whether) it is possible to set
temporary options to grub.

I am on a dual-boot setup with Gentoo Linux being the first choice in
grub's config file. When I perform a restart, most of the times it is
in order to subsequently boot Windows. With the current setup,
however, I need to press the restart button (in Xfce), wait patiently
till the computer restarts, wait for the grub screen and change the
option before the 5 seconds time-out expires. I find annoying when I
miss out the time-out, because of my going away from the computer
screen.

Basically, I would like to issue a command (restart with a certain
grub temporary setup change), go make myself a cup of tee and come
back and see the Windows login screen.

Could anyone suggest a way to do something similar?
Liviu
