[Buildroot] grub2 and 2015.02-rc2

Hi Thomas

Ah - I was hoping that grub2 didn't require root access (loop back device
etc), to simply install boot sector code and place some other code elsewhere
within image file system.... :-(

Cheers

Gary

Did you follow the grub2 installation procedure described at:

  http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tree/boot/grub2/Config.in#n14

This text is visible in the help text of the grub2 option in
menuconfig/xconfig.

Best regards,
