That is certainly true, but rather than modifying the menu items
directly, the recommended mechanism to do so with grub 1 in ubuntu is
to edit '# kopt=' line or the '# defoptions=' line in the AUTOMAGIC
KERNELS comment section and re-run update-grub so that it regenerates
the menu entries. Doing so also means that on kernel updates, the
same options will be applied to the menu entries for the new kernels.
