It's much better to shut down the system cleanly before you load another
system. So if you find such program, it's better to run it from
/etc/rc.d/init.d/halt

The grub executable actually can install grub on the hard drive, so it's
not just a simulator. However, it doesn't support loading the kernels.
You can search on Google. I'm almost sure there is such software, but
it's not GRUB. This may be a good place to start:
