[Bug 1816633] [NEW] grub-reboot broken by initrd-less boot

[Seth Forshee]

Public bug reported:

When using uvtool to boot cloud images in a local VM, grub-reboot no
longer works for booting to a non-default entry. After the reboot grub
will boot to the specified entry without an initrd, but this fails and
reboots immediately because the virtio-blk driver is not built into the
kernel. Then grub successfully tries to boot with an initrd, but it uses
the default entry rather than the entry I specified.

** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
