I can't speak for such default crap as load_video, but at least the
options ro and quiet shouldn't cause an issue.
My grub.cfg does start with
$ cat /mnt/saucy/boot/grub/grub.cfg
set timeout=8
set default='0'; if [ x"$default" = xsaved ]; then load_env; set default="$saved_entry"; fi
set color_normal='light-blue/black'; set color_highlight='light-cyan/blue'

menuentry
and then there are only menu entries, nothing more. I also don't add the
quiet option and should delete the set default line.
