MENU_ENTRY is a number, a menu item title or a menu item identifier.
Please note that menu items in submenus or sub-submenus require specify-
ing the submenu components and then the menu item component. The titles
should be separated using the greater-than character (>) with no extra
spaces. Depending on your shell some characters including > may need es-
caping. More information about this is available in the GRUB Manual in
the section about the 'default' command.
NOTE: In cases where GRUB cannot write to the environment block, such as
when it is stored on an MDRAID or LVM device, the chosen boot menu entry
will remain the default even after reboot.
