Hi,
I made a small change to grub-mkconfig.in script to add
GRUB_PREFIX option as an argument so that a single grub-mkconfig can
be used to generate grub.cfg for both /boot/grub (with bios video

Hi,
Please provide a --no-floppy option for grub-mkconfig since
grub.cfg file generation takes a long time without it in some systems

side note I think its better to make --no-floppy behaviour default
with a --allow-floppy opti

The bzr rev 2372 which unified grub-mkimage command has lead to a
