  That is not good, because the first installation may fail, which is
one of the reasons why we want to use Stage 1.5.

  Yes, it is nice that the default is /boot/grub/menu.lst, but I don't
think it is good if we cannot change the path without modifying the
source code directly.

  Of course, the configuration filename will be stored in Stage 2. The
change will be just modification about the command "install".
