The orginal poster wants to do stuff in those scripts depending on
what GRUB options were selected.
Finding the right script to do it in is only half the solution: How
is information passed out of GRUB about what options were selected?
Hmmm... Normally that isn't possible, because GRUB merely determines
what image to boot and the rc's are independent of that.
Sure it is, SUSE does it in their profile switcher. Their GRUB screen
has function-key options to chose one of the profiles you have set up
with SCPM; it puts PROFILE=profilename on the kernel command line and
it's read in a boot script (/etc/init.d/boot.scpm).

And yes, it can be used to select X configurations at boot time. I'm
sure something like it could be hacked up for Ubuntu as well...
