GRUB Legacy supported the ability to define multiple terminals and have a "Press any key to continue" string appear on both terminals for a specified timeout. This feature is critical in our labs for handling machine access for both local and remote employees. Please bring back this feature so we can use GRUB 2 successfully.

Just set GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT/GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT (if you use grub-mkconfig) or specify multiple arguments to terminal_input/terminal_output (if you write grub.cfg by hand, you can also use --append option). Then GRUB will accept input from any terminal and output the correct menu on every one of them. http://robertmh.wordpress.com/2009/12/25/multiple-grub-terminals/. Also I recommend using websearch before posting feature requests, I could have closed this one as invalid with no comment.
