Add option to quit this volume and boot into the next volume #6

Problem Statement

In the current set of GRUB menu options for debooting the host into, there are 2 options to boot into Appliances (Nodes) retrieved from Swarm and 1 option to boot into an Appliance (Node) built locally (if necessary). There is also a fourth option to enter UEFI firmware setup.

There is not, however, an option of failing over to the next volume/partition in the priority boot sequence. I'm not sure how I've seen it described in a user interface, but it's definitely been there somewhere - something like "boot from next volume".

Solution I would like

I would like a solution that adds another option to boot into the next partition/volume, giving the option the label of:

Leave the world of DeBoot and go back to your normal life

or something similarly pithy, I'm certainly not attached to that one, it was more designed to provoke something better.
