Title:
  copy installer boot options to grub config on install

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  The live CD for ubuntu 10.04 beta2 won't boot for me.  But if I set a
  kernel parameter to acpi=off, then the live CD works fine for me (this
  is not the bug I am reporting, please read the whole thing).  Then
  after I install from the live CD, and it goes to boot for the first
  time, grub no longer has a 10 second timeout so I can't add acpi=off
  again.  I have to reboot with the live CD as a rescue CD, edit
  /boot/grub/grub.cfg, add "set timeout=10" at the bottom of it.  Then I
  reboot with the newly installed 10.04 beta2, and during the 10 second
  timeout, add acpi=off to the boot parameter, and then I can get into
  10.04 beta2 just fine.  I had this problem in 10.04 beta1 as well.

  The problem is that 10.04 beta2 won't boot for me on the first boot after installing (because I need to add acpi=off again).  If I have added acpi=off in order to get the installer/live cd to come up, there is a 99% I will need it to get the freshly installed system to come up too.
  Here are some potential solutions:
  1. If any extra kernel boot parameters are added during the boot of the installer/live cd, then those kernel boot parameters should be automatically added to the default grub entry of the freshly installed system.
  2.  If any extra kernel boot parameters are added during the boot of the installer/live cd, then the default grub timeout should be 10 and not 0 on the freshly installed system.
  3.  Always make the default grub timeout 10.

  I like option 1 the most and option 3 the least, because that would
  conflict with fast boot times which is a goal in 10.04.
