Bug#762618: debian-installer: amd64/i386 netboot/mini.iso has empty grub.cfg for EFI boot
Source: debian-installer
Version: 20130613+deb7u2
Severity: normal
While looking for an example to crib for arm64 I noticed that the amd64
mini.iso has a grub cfg (used when booting on EFI) which doesn't contain any
menu entries. Booting on non-EFI would use the isolinux menus in the usual way.
Looking at the code I expect this will apply to i386 too, although I've not
checked.
The netinst images build by debian-cd contain a grub.cfg which is autogenerated
from the syslinux configuration.
Confirmed by inspection for both current Wheezy and the Jessie dailies.
