Bug Description

As this is a server install and does not install X11 it just "seems" to hang after boot with a blinking cursor in the topleft corner. It was easily fixed by changing 'vt.handoff=7' to 'vt.handoff=1'.

However, I would of expected some form of logic in the generation of the grub.cfg rather than just a hardcoded vt=7.

Ubuntu 11.10 server
Grub2 1.99-12ubuntu5
