How to change grub boot options labels?

[Dazed_75]

If you are using GRUB2, it no longer uses /boot/grub/menu.lst although one
may still be present on your system.

You did not say in your email what distribution you were using or what
version of GRUB yoou are using.  If I imply PClinuxOS from your reference
material and check that, it seems the latest version(s) may be using GRUB2
though I did not check how the decision was made by/for the user.  If they
did it like Ubuntu, you got GRUB2 if you did a clean install, but stayed
with GRUB 0.97 if you did an upgrade.

To be honest, I did not re-read this to look if it solves your question, but
I have resolved virtually every GRUB2 issue I have tried using the info at
     https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
