A multiboot system needs at least a message to inform the user how to

What if I need to revert to the previous kernel, or add some kernel
parameter to get the system up enough to solve some boot problem?
Detecting that the previous boot failed is nice and all, but that
mechanism needs to be totally infallible if it's going to be the only
way the Grub menu can be accessed.
