Bug#506707: workaround for lack of dual-output grub support

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

just wanted to point out a workaround for the lack of boot-time console
choice support for grub 1.9x:

http://cmrg.fifthhorseman.net/browser/trunk/debirf/src/grub2-terminal-chooser

Basically, it takes advantage of grub's new scripting support to allow
the boot-time user to select a console and stick with it.

It's a bit clumsy, but it WorksForMe™.  I hope it's helpful.  Jameson
Rollins and myself are currently maintaining that script on behalf of
the debirf package, and are happy to take suggestions on it.

Regards,

	--dkg
