Because specifying it manually doesn't work... ask me how I found out. |

Partial success... the following gives me a working text mode menu just |
| 10 |
like the standard grub.cfg. |

Unfortunately, just like the standard grub.cfg, it's a tiny-looking |
| 35 |
text font on my 1920x1080 monitor that I have to squint at. Next |
