Bug Description

As seen on the rosetta-users mailing list, reported by Daniel Nylander:

In the module "gfxboot-theme-ubuntu" there are some strings regarding
the word "disk".

According to me (and others), disk = hard drive, disc = (compact) disc.

There are numerous strings who are a bit confusing.

"Insert boot disk %u." . What? Insert my boot hard drive?
"This is not a suitable boot disk."
"Disk Device (scan all disks if empty)" . What? Floppy device?

etc..

Yes. This is essentially all in dead code that we don't in practice use in Ubuntu, but that's a little fiddly to rip out right now.
