Bug#477791: grub: Wrong splash image path construction

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

I ran into this problem too in Debian Edu, with / and /boot/ on
separate partisions.  /boot is /dev/hda1, and / is on LVM
(/dev/mapper/vg_system-root).  In this setting, update-grub generate

  splashimage=(hd0,0)boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

The correct setting would be

  splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

This make it very hard to provide a grub splash screen automatically
during installation.  I was working on updating the debian-edu-artwork
package to provide this, but the current result is a error during boot
about being unable to read the splash image.

Happy hacking,
