What does mean “independent”? Do you mean that it's working only for
Grub now? I guess others bootloaders could have this if they need to
generate a configuration file like “/boot/grub/grub.cfg”.

The problem is I cannot get a Grub “menu-entry” in “/boot/grub/grub.cfg”
which should look like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
menuentry "Another distro" {
search --label --set another-disk-label
configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Also “linux” and “initrd” fields of “menu-entry” are required to be
defined which prevents from generating the snippet above.
Thoughts?
Oleg.
