When using coreboot with GRUB, you usually have either: - A single GRUB, in chip, with a hand-crafted configuration. - Two GRUBs, one in chip which loads the other one from disk. The configuration for the first is hand-crafted but the second one would usually be grub-mkconfig'ed. In this case sounds like the right place for this would be the hand-crafted part. There's some example script code in: http://grub.enbug.org/CoreBoot How about adding it there? -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
