This is a idea for making installations of Grub safer.
It is based on Grub Legacy but I think you will find an equivalent on grub2.
Most people ask about grub showing grub> and not knowing what do to do
when that happens. (Usually when they remove Linux from pc).
If I understand it correctly that means that 1_5 stage has been loaded
but it does not have found /boot/grub/menu.lst because it does not exist.
My idea is that when embedd 1_5 stage we should also add a configuration
file with the following contents:
timeout 0
default 0
title correct install
configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst
HERE GOES CONTENTS of /boot/grub/menu.lst
from the first title.
This way if the file /boot/grub/menu.lst is there it is loaded but if it
does not exists its backup is loaded.
So... everyone is happy.
