[Bug 490451] [NEW] Unable to set multiple grub terminals using /etc/default/grub

[Sam Creasey]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

Using the old /boot/grub/menu.lst setup, if one wanted grub terminals on
multiple output devices, a line such as:

"terminal serial console"

would work for putting the grub terminal on both the serial port and the
VGA console.

However, in the new /etc/default/grub world, attempting the analog of:
GRUB_TERMINAL="serial console"

produces the error:

Invalid output terminal "serial console"

I suspect this is due to the checking of the GRUB_TERMINAL variable on
line 161 of /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig, where only specific strings are
allowed.
