Did you find your answer yet?

I am using SCPM with grub as well, but I haven't attempted to setup the
bootup thing yet.

I think that you can just modify a line in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
You should be able to simply append "PROFILE=home" to the following line

kernel /boot/vmlinuz.shipped root=/dev/hda2 vga=788

which would give you something like this:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz.shipped root=/dev/hda2 vga=788 PROFILE=home

This is just my guess, I'm going to actually try this over the holidays. I
looked in /etc/init.d/boot.scpm, and it is using a variable named $PROFILE,
but I'm not exactly sure where that is coming from, I think it is being
setup by the "PROFILE=home" kernel parameter, but that is just a guess.

Hope that helps. I get back with you after the holidays and let you know if
I find anything new/useful.
