Not stupid at all.

Outside of the grub shell:

root@medulla ~]# echo $SHELL

Inside of the grub shell:

root@medulla ~]# grub
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.


GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)

[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible

grub> echo $SHELL
echo $SHELL

Error 27: Unrecognized command
grub> quit
quit
[root@medulla ~]#

Also, the commandline works properly outside of grub.
