  21 +Treat this boot entry as a wildcard entry: The
  22 +wildcard, title, kernel, and initrd commands (see @ref{Menu-specific
  23 +commands} and @ref{Command-line and menu entry commands}) each have an
  24 +asterisk (*) in their value. A filename match is performed on the
  25 +@var{pathname} of the wildcard command. For each match, the entire boot
  26 +entry is duplicated. The part of the filename whcih matches the asterisk
  27 +in the wildcard command replaces the asterisks in the title, kernel, and
  28 +initrd commands. For example, with the files vmlinuz-2.6.5-1 and
  29 +vmlinuz-2.6.8-8 below (hd0,7)/boot, the following entry in the stage 2
  30 +configuration file:

  33 +title Linux-*
  34 +    wildcard (hd0,7)/boot/vmlinuz-*
