#930: add a grub entry to the ext2 image

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 for the images that are run under qemu (or any VM), I would like an extra
 grub entry that just swaps the order of the 2 console= parameters:

 existing: ro vga=0x317 video=vesafb:ypan selinux=0 console=ttyS0,115200
 console=tty0

 proposed: ro vga=0x317 video=vesafb:ypan selinux=0 console=tty0
 console=ttyS0,115200

 With the existing, you only see it up to the "transfering control to
 /sbin/init" and then everything goes to only the VM console.  Flip the 2
 and it goes only to qemu's stdout, thus the need for both: to be able to
 pick where the output goes after "transfering control to /sbin/init" given
 that it will only go to one or the other.

 I got mixed results when asking if it could go to both, so a 2nd grub
 entry may be the best use of time for now.
