Check out syslinux if grub is too obnoxious. I've found it much more
straight forward than grub.

In the case of GRUB2 that is unlikely to be the case, as it is meant
to do everything. That's why the auto-generated config files are so
long and full of conditionals. On a system you have full control over,
you can remove all the conditionals.

At face value, this is antithetical to how computers should work.
Computers should do our bidding, NOT the other way around.
