we want to generate the GRUB menu without actually installing GRUB
(because Amazon supplies its own pv-grub), and each menu entry
requires "root (hd0)". For the first, allow boot.loader.grub.device
to be set to "nodev" to indicate that the GRUB menu should be
generated without installing GRUB. For the second, add an option
boot.loader.grub.extraPerEntryConfig to allow commands to be added
to each GRUB menu entry (in this case, "root (hd0)").

As a result, `cdrom_id' doesn't print
ID_CDROM_MEDIA_TRACK_COUNT_DATA, which in turn prevents the

corresponding udev rules for now. This was the behaviour in udev <=

cause restarting of jobs to hang indefinitely because the required
"start on" condition never triggers.
For instance, after "stop nfs-kernel-nfsd", "start nfs-kernel-nfsd"
will hang until we do "stop portmap; start portmap". This is due to
the "starting nfs-kernel-nfsd and started portmap" condition in
the nfs-kernel-mountd job. Apparently, because portmap is already
running, the condition "started portmap" never happens because no
event is emitted.

* Work around an apparent bug in Upstart: the ‘mountall’ task cannot

it allows the `mountall' task to start mounting filesystems as soon
