I hope I'm answering the right question here! The "savedefault" remembers when its own entry in the boot menu is chosen when the system is booted. So, if you chose item 1 (the second, since they start at zero), grub will remember "1". Then you can use this information in your menu.lst file by including the command "default saved". Then next time you boot, the selected menu entry is the one grub remembers from last time. If you just hit "Enter" or no key at all, this entry is used without you having to choose it. The most common usage is to put "savedefault" on all entries so that the system always comes up the same way as it did before unless you tell it not to. But you might have an experimental or unreliable kernel that you only want to boot if you choose it explicitly, and then you would leave the "savedefault" off.
