I still see this on beta4. Both this bug, and a duplicate #36239 have been closed as fixed with no comment. Anyone have a link to the commit with the fix, I can't seem to find it.

When booting from the current trunk (GRUB-2.00~beta3), it would boot successfully. But if you edit a entry at the grub boot screen, it will render the configuration useless for the time being saying:

"Booting a command list
error: can't find command 's'.
Press any key to continue"

Steps to reproduce:

1. Turn on machine
2. At boot prompt try to edit an entry by pressing 'e'.
3. Press 'F10' or 'Ctrl+X' to boot the entry.

It should error. If it doesn't, you can also go back to the entry, and just put a <space> or <enter>, and it will also display the same error.

There also seems to be like a screen drawing problem which could also be causing this.
