Nobody cared about this wish list item for more than 9 months. grml2usb supports installation of multiple ISOs into one single place and the order of the specified ISOs also decides about the default boot option IIRC, so this issue isn't worth tracking in the BTS unless somebody steps up to implement it.

The last 'official' multi-boot version had this (courtesy of mika): mika@lunge /mnt/grmlmonster/boot/syslinux % cat defaults.cfg label grml-auto menu label Automatically load Grml for your architecture menu default kernel ifcpu64.c32 append grml64 -- grml include grml_default.cfg include grml64_default.cfg mika@lunge /mnt/grmlmonster/boot/syslinux % cat grml_default.cfg default grml label grml #menu DEFAULT menu label grml ^Standard (2010.04-rc3, i386) kernel /boot/release/grml/linux26 append initrd=/boot/release/grml/initrd.gz boot=live apm=power-off vga=791 quiet nomce live-media-path=/live/grml/ boot=live persistent-path=/grml bootid=2bc11e22-a1fd-4bb3-b1e0-279726805fbf text help Grml is a Debian based Linux live system for system administrators and users of text tools. http://grml.org/ endtext mika@lunge /mnt/grmlmonster/boot/syslinux % cat grml64_default.cfg default grml label grml64 menu label grml64 ^Standard (2010.04-rc3, amd64) kernel /boot/release/grml64/linux26 append initrd=/boot/release/grml64/initrd.gz boot=live apm=power-off vga=791 quiet nomce live-media-path=/live/grml64/ boot=live persistent-path=/grml64 bootid=2bc11e22-a1fd-4bb3-b1e0-279726805fbf text help Grml is a Debian based Linux live system for system administrators and users of text tools. http://grml.org/ endtext

When installing grml + grml64 on a single usb key, grml2usb should add a syslinux entry for autodetecting the machine arch and booting the corresponding grml then. This should be the default boot option. The Grml Keys already have this, but rewriting them leaves one without this option.
