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.
summary: |
- when net booting servers, grub should never wait for user input to - reboot + when net booting servers with MAAS, grub should never wait for user + input to reboot |

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?
