Since we're looking at boot improvements, here's what I'd like:

I would like to be able to change the default for the resolution, so it
remembers it for future boots.  i.e. I want to be select "3" (1024x768)
and have it remember that setting so I don't have to type 3 every boot.

Does anyone know if that's possible with a "better menu system"?

If not, what would happen if I changed the official "server release" to
default to 1024x768?  I know some hardware doesn't support higher
resolutions, but would it prevent the system from booting without manual
intervention, or would the system just print an warning and continue
booting at a lower resolution?  I don't think I have any old hardware to
test this on.  And I REALLY get sick of trying to catch the boot prompt
and typing "3" when I'm rebooting a lot during development.
