 19 Invoking grub-set-default
 ****************************
 
 The program `grub-set-default' sets the default boot entry for GRUB.
 This automatically creates a file named `default' under your GRUB
 directory (i.e. `/boot/grub'), if it is not present. This file is used
 to determine the default boot entry when GRUB boots up your system when
 you use `default saved' in your configuration file ( default),
 and to save next default boot entry when you use `savedefault' in a
 boot entry ( savedefault).
 
    `grub-set-default' accepts the following options:
 
 `--help'
      Print a summary of the command-line options and exit.
 
 `--version'
      Print the version information and exit.
 
 `--root-directory=DIR'
      Use the directory DIR instead of the root directory (i.e. `/') to
      define the location of the default file. This is useful when you
      mount a disk which is used for another system.
 
    You must specify a single argument to `grub-set-default'. This
 argument is normally the number of a default boot entry. For example,
 if you have this configuration file:
 
      default saved
      timeout 10
 
      title GNU/Hurd
      root (hd0,0)
      ...
 
      title GNU/Linux
      root (hd0,1)
      ...
 
    and if you want to set the next default boot entry to GNU/Linux, you
 may execute this command:
 
      grub-set-default 1
 
    Because the entry for GNU/Linux is `1'. Note that entries are
 counted from zero. So, if you want to specify GNU/Hurd here, then you
 should specify `0'.
 
    This feature is very useful if you want to test a new kernel or to
 make your system quite robust.  Making your system robust, for
 more hints about how to set up a robust system.
