Extra Screen?

Extra Screen?

[BandiPat]

Hi all,
An odd screen started to show up from build svn2235 that I had not seen 
before when starting my computers.  Just after the Loading Grub2 & 
Welcome to Grub2 comments, there appears a 4 or 5 line text screen 
mentioning something about Bash.   It only appears for a brief few 
seconds, then goes to the menu/bootloader screen, but I had not seen 
that before 2235.  I'm using 2322 now with the same thing.

 From what I can gather, because it appears so briefly, is that it's 
describing that you can use this to edit or something else about bash? 
Like I said, it's too brief to catch much of it.  I get the feeling this 
has been there for a long time, but normally passed by so quickly going 
to the bootloader screen, nobody saw it?

Can someone enlighten me?  Should it appear or not or?

Thanks,
Pat

r2235 just renamed one function and changed a bit the header files. I
doubt it's the reason for it.
I just paid attention to this in VMware and get the same behaviour.
But I can't remember if that was always the case or not.

Just press `c' to go to command line and you can see more clearly what
it says.

I don't know if it's possible (well without changing the code much) to
not display it when there's a valid menuenetry in the config.
