We've moved to GRUB 2 as a development platform. Please can you check if this bug still applies there, and if it does, reopen it?

Thanks

I have an issue where the GRUB countdown does not work on a SUN Fire X4200 server.  After some web searching it seems that GRUB somehow reads the keyboard buffer if any keys are pressed during the BIOS part of the boot process.
In my case I have F1 to continue enabled for problems.  When pressing F1 GRUB countdown is not working.  When I turn off the F1 to continue, GRUB loads normally.

It seems that I am not the only person that experiences this as I found the answer to this using Google.

If there is an update for GRUB that can repair this, please let me know.

Thanks
