[Bug 1065801] [NEW] New grub boot menu fails to show device designations

[Erick Brunzell]

Public bug reported:

I realize that this is somewhat intentional with the upgrade to grub 2.*
but the new grub really is virtually worthless with a complex multi-boot
because it fails to show device designations such as (sda2) etc.

I'll review this tomorrow and add more info after looking through the
logs.
