I think you need to use a newer version of GRUB2 first off. This is a prerelease version and is quite old. > > Do I have any options except following full manual edit of grub.cfg? > [my reading of http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html suggests I > don't.] Directly editing the grub.cg isn't advised, it's better to make the changes in /etc/default/grub and then running grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg which reads the /etc/default/grub configuration, and produces a new grub.cfg from scratch. Also note that documentation applies to GRUB 2.00. There are many, many changes from 1.98 to 2.00.
