Hello Andreas,

Indeed this is a grub documentation issue. I'm reassigning it to grub and will let Robert to handle it there.

Thanks by reporting it to us.

Robert,

This does makes the issue confusing for users since documentation say's one thing and grub-installer does another.

Do you need help?

Could you take a look on that?
