In my case, I simply changed the boot option name, but QGRUBEditor
changed the Root from (hd2,0) to (hd0,0), this is show in the edit entry
dialog but it's easily overlooked since you are not messing with that
field.

Basically, it appears that when you edit a boot option, QGRUBEditor
reset the Root to hd0,n instead of reading the field from the actual
entry. So if you have the /boot partition on a different primary
partition/HD it will break the boot process.

I'm sorry I cannot be more precise, but I re-organized my HD so I cannot
duplicate it again and go step-by step.

If I'm to fix the bug, I'd double check that when the edit dialog comes
up, it populates the fields using actual entries from menu.lst and does
not use any other hard-coded default.
