Description Chris Murphy 2013-03-11 18:23:47 UTC

Description of problem:
Documentation says to use "any key" to get to a hidden GRUB menu on startup, needs to be changed to Esc key.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
18


Actual results:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Installation_Guide/s1-grub-interfaces.html

"any key" appears twice
"a key" appears once


Expected results:
All three should say "Esc key"

Thanks for reporting this, Chris. However, my own tests indicate that pressing 'Esc' during the first three seconds of the GRUB Boot Menu merely stops Fedora loading and halts on the Boot Menu. This may be what you meant by 'hidden' menu, I'm not sure.

That said, pressing any key still has the same effect. Only pressing 'e' or 'c' produce different results, as the boot menu text explains.

The 'any key' instruction in E.5.1. Interfaces Load Order is indeed incorrect though. 'Esc' must be pressed in order to leave the command line and return to the GRUB Boot Menu, so I have made this change in commit 683c62e30e04775a8ff373fa168921072aa08f6f

Let me know if I've approached this incorrectly.
