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.
