I'll second this, and propose it to be implemented as a temporary version of
"savedefault".
savenextdefault <entrynr>
savenextdefault saves the default entry to be used for the next boot only. The boot
after that will go back to the normal default entry.
Problme is that this needs the embedded data in stage2 to be extended with one more
byte if to be done in a easy manner.
Another alternative would be to extend "savedefault" with an optional argument telling
which entry to boot. This way one can easily make a grub script that switches to
another boot entry, and have this boot entry switch the default back to the normal
entry by executing a "savedefault normal-entry-number" command.

Summary: lilo-like -R switch
Original Submission: --- QUOTE FROM lilo(8) man page ---
-R command line
This option sets the default command for the boot loader the next time
it executes. The boot loader will then erase this
line: this is a once-only command. It is typically used in reboot
scripts, just before calling `shutdown -r'. Used with-
out any arguments, it will cancel a lock-ed or fallback command line.
