Do yourself a favor, as you'll probably have several more comparisons to
do.

When making the lists, sort the output, either piped to sort or make a
sorted version afterward, and use comm (man comm). You can see a nice
consolidated output, or select any combination of "only on file1", "only
on file2", ... both, etc. Makes detecting differences much faster.

If grub had a "one time" next boot like LILO, I'd have some more
thoughts, but <*sigh*>
