I need a way to change the first default entry that is displayed at boot
time. The one that comes before the submenu "Advanced options for Gentoo
GNU/Linux". This is because I'd prefer not to use this submenu every
time I reboot. I just like to select the first entry (the one before the
submenu), but it should boot the right kernel, not the one that GRUB
wants me to boot at the moment. I don't expect the default entry to be
the first in the list. I expect the default entry to be the one I choose
from the list. That is, the default entry should never be a random one.
I should decide every time which entry becomes the default one. As it
happened in GRUB legacy.

I hope it is a little bit clearer this time.
