echoing to grub2 boot menu

[dijxtra]

I'd like have some text written on my grub2 boot menu. In legacy grub you could just add:
title Foobar
and you'd get "Foobar" displayed. I tried:
menuitem "Foobar" {}
grub2, but it doesn't work. Any ideas how do you do something like that?

(Yes, I know writing grub.cfg by hand is not very smart. But I have a special situation: I wrote my own grub.cfg on a dedicated boot partition from where I chainload to other grub on other partitions. Those secondary grubs generate their grub.cfgs on the fly, so everything is OK :-) )

sikander3786 gave you good links on grub2.

I have used these to add a space line, chainboot, & reboot. Some have not had halt work, seems to depend on system. Note that depending on what drive you boot the hd number may not match the sda number as hd0 is always the boot drive.

menuentry "9.04 on sdb (from sdc) Chainboot" {
set root=(hd2)
chainloader +1
}

menuentry "Chainload Other Systems Grub Menu on sdc1" {
set root=(hd2,1)
chainloader +1
}

menuentry " " {
set root=
}

menuentry "Reboot" {
reboot
}

menuentry "Halt" {
halt
}

Yeah. Excellent links, but I couldn't find the answer to my question... which is:


menuentry " " {
set root=
}

this.

Thanks man, you helped a lot.
