Hi Tomas,

With regards to changing config file:
  1) Which distro?
  2)  "Legacy BIOS" or "EFI" boot mode?

With regards to setting default:
   1)  See man page for grub2-set-default(8).

- Don

Thanks Bill,

No, I did not try /boot/grub/custom.cfg - in my case - that would not help.

I did not say this in my original post - the changes I need to make are trivial,
but involve changing current menu rather than adding to it:
* changing default menu item and adding a few kernel boot options to it

I know - I am also a victim of - the whole world is about how to boot/install
cloud instances or containers.

Tomas
