Also, where does the '#-*' tag come from? I can't find any reference to this
(no other occurrences in install script).
    
http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/grub/trunk/menu.lst?view=markup
  

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.
