Your Debian system has a lot of *info*rmation on GRUB, but not in the man file :) For the primary documentation on GRUB2 try:- $ info grub Additionally you can install "doc-central" and "dwww", both of which index your system documentation (including your man pages) and a local web search interface. Want more? Try "dhelp" which works similar to doc-central and dwww (HTML docs only). There's also "mansearch" which creates a central index of man pages and provides a local web search interface.
