What is the "normal mechanism"? Where is it documented? There are no man pages for "grub" or for "grubenv" on my system. There is a /boot/grub/grubenv file but it consists of one comment line, ending in a newline, and then enough # characters to make the file size exactly 1024 bytes. Incomprehensible.
