Follow-up Comment #2, bug #27862 (project grub):
I think I've been using GRUB longer than you... this was the canonical way to
specify arguments when VSTa first adopted GRUB. Admittedly, that was a while
ago. Still, I hadn't guessed that you folks had not only switched to a
different way of specifying arguments, but had also made the old syntax mean
something new. In any case, thanks for the quick response!

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #27862 (project grub):
I have no doubts that you used GRUB Legacy more then me ;)
Ok I even bothered now to try this actually out.
Strange that it really understands kernel=/x
The official manual at least tells nothing about this, according to grep '='
grub.texi

Yeah, I'm a dinosaur. :->
Anyway, I really doubt people like me need to be well-served in what we
remember from the days of the 386. Thanks again for the quick response.

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #27863 (project grub):
Thanks here too. Without the "=" it just quietly returns a prompt (just like
with the "="). But, in fact, on a whim I tried "boot" and it had indeed
loaded in the bits. I don't know if it's intended that a kernel load in CLI
mode should be absolutely silent, but it works so I'm happy.

Summary: load_env and save_env default to
/boot/grub/grubenv, but grub-editenv doesn't

_______________________________________________________
Details:
If one wants to use grub-editenv, one needs to figure out which file is used
to save and load the environment. This information is not easily
available--not in help load_env, nor anywhere. This information should be
available in the docs, but also grub-editenv should have the same default as
load_env to alleviate the need for this piece of documentation in the first
place.

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #27874 (project grub):
grub-editenv defaults now to /boot/grub/editenv too and it prints that out
with --help.
Unfortunately this was commited after the 1.97 release was made.
I'm not sure about changing the help output for load_env
There it's actually $prefix/grubenv

I'd like to be able to remove boot entries.
Currently, in my ubuntu9.10 system, the first Microsoft system to
appear is the first partition.
However if I select it, it wipes out my Vista system since it is the
"recovery" partition of my notebook.
However I'm told not to change grub.cfg
Can you make an easy way of not having certain entries appear?
