IIRC, if the "(set) root" line doesn't fit to the root of the
"linux/kernel line" for grub.cfg or menu.lst, it's possible to boot into
a Linux by booting the kernel of another install, perhaps this will
cause an error instead of booting, however, once I booted a kernel and
root from different Linux installs. Note that I manually edit my
configs, the updater won't do such a mistake.
