3 * Use ascii.pf2 as grub2 font, since grub2 (1.96+20090307-1)
4 the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore.
5 * Use terminal_output if available, otherwise fallback to old
6 older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
7 * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
8 to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
9 * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
10 grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
11 loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
12 and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
13 kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
14 we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
15 Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
16 * Increate timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
