I cannot help on how to obtain and install upstream GRUB2 to a dedicated partition. Others might.
Not exactly what you want. Anyways if you want a dinamic menu take a look at Super Grub2 Disk scripts. You will have to tailor them to do specifically what you want though. E.g. https://github.com/supergrub/supergrub/blob/f508220f653123f1b7841040cde1395d3a2d9a40/menus/sgd/osdetect.cfg 2017-05-28 19:24 GMT+02:00 Richard Owlett <[email protected]>: > Over the past few years I've found bits and pieces suggesting what I want > is physically possible.
