The 'boot' command isn't supposed to do anything in the grub shell.  This is 
not a bug, and it is not possible to implement as a feature on the x86 arch.

Summary:  Grub will not chain load WIN OS's after kernel is loaded

Original Submission:  I have attempted using 0.92, 0.91 and 0.90, and none of 
the releases work when attempting to chain load an OS after the kernel has been 
loaded.  While this is not specifically stated possible, it is implied by the 
availability of the GRUB console after the kernel is loaded.

When I attempt to chainload another OS, it recognizes the OS and then goes back 
to a bash prompt.
