fallback 1
If, for any reason, the default entry doesn't work, fall back to the
second one (this is rarely used, for obvious reasons).
fallback
--------
- Command: fallback num
Go into unattended boot mode: if the default boot entry has any
errors, instead of waiting for the user to do something,
immediately start over using the NUM entry (same numbering as the
`default' command (*note default::)). This obviously won't help if
the machine was rebooted by a kernel that GRUB loaded.
