Thomas Petazzoni 62a84ded2f grub: improve help text with detailed instructions to install grub
These instructions should probaby go in the Buildroot manual, but at
this point, it's not clear in which section they should go. So in
order to not loose those notes, add them to the Grub help text.

The GRand Unified Bootloader for x86 systems.
Some notes on creating a disk image with Grub installed:
1. Create an empty disk image
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk.img bs=1M count=32
2. Create one primary partition
cfdisk -h 16 -s 63 disk.img
3. Set up a loop device
sudo losetup -f disk.img
4. Set up loop devices per partitions
sudo partx -a /dev/loop0
5. Create the ext2 filesystem
sudo mkfs.ext2 -L root /dev/loop0p1
6. Mount the filesystem
mount /dev/loop0p1 /mnt
7. Extract the root filesystem
sudo tar -C /mnt -xf output/images/rootfs.tar
8. Unmount the filesystem, clean up loop device
sudo umount /mnt
sudo partx -d /dev/loop0
sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0
9. Install grub
output/host/sbin/grub --device-map=/dev/null
and in the grub shell, enter:
device (hd0) disk.img
geometry (hd0) <cylinders> 16 63
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
10. Image is ready
Can be tested in Qemu, with:
qemu-system-{i386,x86-64} -hda disk.img
