Bug Description
/etc/init.
If the admin has deleted the grubenv file intentionally because they don't want grub writing to the filesystem, this behavior is annoying. If the admin has deleted the file because grub does not have write support for the root filesystem, then this behavior breaks booting; someone has to hit a key on the console for the machine to boot.
The attached patch fixes this. However, I'm not sure what is supposed to create /boot/grub/grubenv originally. If it's the init script, then some further changes will be required.
