Bug Description
UEFI exit 0 menuentry shall be called "Start from next volume"
from mpt design review:
===
Ok then, what do you think about “Restart into next volume”?
(Or “Start from next volume”. I’m a bit fuzzy about whether we’re
actually rebooting here.)
It seems a bit weird that (a) we don’t give you all the choices, and (b)
the one you boot into might not, itself, give you the choice to go to
the next one after that.
===
Ideally, if and when grub learns to present and manipulate all EFI bootentries, and have access to the firmware-only bootentries (i.e. boot in legacy, boot in uefi, etc) then they should probably be all presented.

Was "Boot from next volume" considered, instead of "Start"? The standard term for booting is "boot", not "start". Start may be less jargon-y, but it's also more generic and ambiguous, and in context I think an educated user is less likely to understand what it refers to.
