[Bug 1747927] Re: when net booting servers with MAAS, grub should never wait for user input to reboot

[Steve Langasek]

As I asked in https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1743249/comments/65:

What do you think the correct behavior should be when grub cannot find
the file that it needs in order to boot? Should grub enter a boot loop,
retrying endlessly? Should it try to halt the system? Why is either of
these options more correct than putting the machine to a console prompt?

Title:
  when net booting servers with MAAS, grub should never wait for user
  input to reboot

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In bug 1743249, grub sometimes would hang waiting for user input on
  the keyboard.  This is never an appropriate action for a net booting
  server, at least not one booting under MAAS direction. It may be
  appropriate to pause for 30 seconds or something so someone can see
  the error, but to just hang is wrong.
