Grub has a more complicated multi-step boot procedure that allows it to read its own config file at boot time. That means all you have to do is edit the /etc/grub.conf file which is actually a symlink to /boot/grub/grub.conf because /etc may not be mounted yet. If you want to test settings, add a new section that you can pick from the choices and try it out before making it the default. -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
