The problem isn't that grub.cfg is read-only. It's that nay change to
grub.cfg will be overwritten any time
grub-mkconfig/update-grub/update-grub2 is run.
Furhermore, I remembered after deleting previous emails in thsi thread
that there's one suggestion that wasn't made namely to set
"GRUB_TERMINAL=console".
