I'm not sure that it's the same idea I had for the some time but
I thought that GRUB goes to grub rescue if partition map changed.
So my idea was to write partition module that will autodetect the
GRUB partition (another question is what parameter to use for
autodection. But it must be secure: GRUB will not detect other partition
containing modules at the other case the attacker could boot his own
modules) and register it like (boot) then GRUB can load the real
partition map module

T he disadvantage is that it doesn't work with "deep"
menus (if new menu loads another one)

And why would someone use such a long title?
