Details:
This has some extra background info https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?28759
in comments #2,3,4.
If using a pmon /boot/boot.cfg as follows, grub boots:
default 0
timeout 0
showmenu 0
title Boot with GRUB
kernel (wd0,0)/boot/grub.elf
args some-dummy-string
If your args line matches either of these, grub fails:
args (no params
(totally blank)
apt-cache policy grub-yeeloong
grub-yeeloong:
Installed: 1.98~20091212-2
Candidate: 1.98~20091212-2
Version table:
*** 1.98~20091212-2 0
Note on reproducibility: its every time, on the same machine. I'll post a
comment when I can get feedback from someone else.
