I can't think of any reason (except quick hackery) why this hasn't been done that way. I mean, one could retain a simple choice of which disk/partition to boot in the 1st stage (to cover all eventualities), and maybe hide it by having to hit a key, and do the real menu in the 2nd stage, perhaps integrated with the kernel options boot menu. mkb.
