Also, where does the '#-*' tag come from? I can't find any reference to this (no other occurrences in install script).

Ah.. that explains. Is there any reason for using "root=/dev/sda3 ro" is the (0) entry? I mean, isn't this just a "maybe we're lucky and it will work, otherwise it will fail"-entry? Shouldn't we clarify this a bit more? Eg by setting the title to "Arch Linux [/boot/vmlinuz26] (Default entry. Might work, might not)" or something? (If this entry is even present in a users menu.lst it means something went badly wrong during the arch install process) PS: Let me know if you want a bug ticket for this and/or the sed $grubmenu thing.
