 I'm torn:
 - no args meaning "pick the default entry" is kinda useful
 - But I've always thought it to mean "pick any kernel", actually.
 
 I've used it whenever I dropped to the boot prompt, had to edit userconf
 stuff, then boot the kernel.
 
 We can pass an unused boot argument to get the same result, e.g.
 menu=Boot normally:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;boot -3
 
 But that might be too magical.
 
 We can also eliminate the warning.
