Bug Description
When setting a grub password during installation, it's only entered once. If there's a typo in it, I cannot change the boot parameters on the first boot. Together with bug #31036, this results in an unbootable system (that can easily be repaired using a rescue CD, though).

Colin,
To be safe if the user wants a password in the menu.lst, shouldnt it be better to use grub-md5-crypt?
