This should not be part of the commit log. If you want to express such
comments, they should go...

... here.

Indeed, when the configuration is built into the image, I don't think
the prefix is very useful. But I believe that's OK.

	depends on BR2_TARGET_GRUB2_I386_PC

since there is no need to specify a boot partition for the EFI boot
cases.

Fix that with:

	Specify the partition where the /boot/grub/grub.cfg is located.
	Use (hd0,msdos1) for the first partition of the first disk if
	using a legacy partition table, or (hd0,gpt1) if using GPT
	partition table.

Other than that, looks OK. Can you quickly resend a v2 ?

Thanks a lot for looking into this problem!
