Re: How do I prevent Grub command-line boots?
I also found the solution for Grub Legacy, which was kind of in front of my nose the whole time.
At the top of menu.lst for Grub Legacy there is a "password" option that is commented out.
When it is uncommented (whether an actual password is used or not), entering the command-line and manually editing the menu items is disabled (unless, presumably, a specified password is entered). Menu items using this password can be locked by entering the word "lock" below the title of the menu item. I read the Grub Legacy Manual 20 times but could never sort it out.
(I found the answer in a single post on Ubuntu Forums from 2007

-- good thing they haven't removed the archives there).
This works fine.
Problem solved.
