Grub Fallback -- Is it for real?

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

The grub documentation includes provides kernel failover provisions, but
these don't appear to work.

http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Making-your-system-robust.html#Making-your-system-robust

Should I expect this to work? Is there some other mechanism to boot a
different kernel just once--on the next boot?

Associated, the docs say there should be a grub-set-default command
which is also not present.

What's the story with these issues?

Sorry if I should be raising this elsewhere.
