Yes, when user has two systems configured in menu.lst (say, A and B), and
per has set to boot A as default. Sometimes per'll want to boot into B just
once, and wants a quick command to do it, no editing of menu.lst.
This is what we implemented in the debian package (grub-reboot), because
many users wanted this feature. It is actualy one of the reasons that
motivated the debian-installer hackers to use GRUB for sarge instead of LILO.
