In any case I think an option to review what grub is going to do could
be useful. Aside from the problem mentioned, grub also grabbed info from
a backup partition I used for another distribution I was trying,
resulting in a grub menu with a lot of useless lines: it just added
everything it could find without asking. I apologize if there is some
option I missed.
