Grub2 can do that in at least three different ways. You can write a complete manual configuration, just like with 0.9,you can put a manual custom configuration in /etc/grub.d or you can put a simple she'll script in that directory that creates menu entries with each set of options for each kernel in /boot.
None of these options are any more complex than creating a grub 0 configuration by hand.
