Grub documentation

[Connor Imes]

Phil,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.  The page on h.u.c. has
really been the authoritative source on Grub2 so far - it is well
maintained and very detailed.  Most of the material will probably apply
to the latest version of Ubuntu, and since we won't be releasing system
doc updates for previous versions of Ubuntu with the intent of adding
Grub material, this should be OK.

The system docs don't have much of anything about Grub, and provide a
link to the Grub2 page.  Configuring Grub is a complex task in many
cases, esp. now with Grub2, and is probably not applicable to the system
docs, except maybe a small blurb in the serverguide.  If there is
specific material you think should be in the docs, please feel free to
present it.

In short, I suggest keeping most of the Grub2 material here [1].
