This looks like a good idea; in fact, it may be the only way of getting
close to what the OP wants. Hpwever, the problem might be the length of
the disclaimer for setparams ("<legal_goes_here>"). The GRUB menu
displays the text on one line and, with line wrapping not apparently
available, much of it will not be on the screen.
I would also query the purpose of the second line in the stanza.
