_______________________________________________________
Details:
For dual boot systems in larger installations it would be a real blessing if
grub could read a single byte from the network like so when presenting its
menu:
GRUB_DEFAULT=$( cat (tftp)/default-grub/$HOSTNAME )
- or -
GRUB_DEFAULT=$( curl http://myserver.mydomain/boot/grub/$HOSTNAME )
Any protocol (ssh, ftp, sft, http, maybe via dhcp, ..), and any host key
(HOSTNAME, MAC address, ...), and not even necessarily with DNS support - just
to be independent from the OS currently running and able to make necessary
changes immediately for the next reboot(s).
