Hello ! It is no problem to use a GRUB setup on headless computer setups (no keyboard and screen). I use it very often.
The "Press any key ...." is a relict of the development. We should discuss to remove it. The method to switch over fix to the serial line is the `terminal --timeout=0 serial' The `--timeout=0' will avoid the asking for "Press a key ..." So see the `--timeout=0' as fix part of the command ! If you have further problems or questions, you are welcome to ask. With friendly regards Christoph P. "Steven R.
