Spoke too soon. Today this virtual machine refused to boot, for no
apparent reason. Grub2 drops to the rescue mode, and typing these two
commands brings the menu back:
insmod normal
normal
...even though, according to the source (kern/main.c, functions
grub_main() and grub_load_normal_mode()), loading the "normal" module
and switching to the normal mode are the first things that are
supposed to be done automatically and unconditionally.
I really don't want this to happen with your computer. Thus, please,
no Grub2 in LFS for now.
Also its ./configure script looks for ruby as an optional build-time
dependency, in order to convert unifont to a format that Grub
understands (required for graphical booting).
