Mmm, actually in PVGrub extra is used to point to the menu.lst file that
should be loaded.  It could however append the remainder of extra to the
kernel command line.  That however doesn't look very appealing to me, on
the principles.  Instead, would for instance being able to set the menu
entry to be activated by default be ok?
