I think you may have misunderstood what I wrote. My apologies if I was unclear. My comment was a suggestion related to the verbiage around the grub configuration file meant to help folks not to make what appears to be a potential mistake in specifying the various settings, not about working with or booting partitions. Perhaps being very familiar with the file's peculiarities makes it less obvious as to its inconsistency, but as someone coming to it for the first time, I thought I would help out with the suggestion. Do with it what you will.
