Platform is coreboot. I don't have anything with a CD to reproduce now so I think it shouldn't be a release blocker

What platform - legacy BIOS or EFI? 32 or 64 bit? As usual, testing with current GIT snapshot would be helpful.

Grub release: 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.12+7.0trisquel5  (but the pre-build rom image could be different)

Libreboot release: 20160907 (coreboot 377rc98)

May be related to bug #47374.

Test procedure:
- power off
- power on
- mash down key until menu timeout cancels
- c for command line
- ls

If the DVD drive is full, this spins it up twice, then returns a list of devices, including partitions on the DVD.

If the DVD drive is empty, this hangs, apparently indefinitely.

Hold the power button, for a disgraceful shutdown, to recover the machine.

I wonder if the syntax for discovering the existence of a DVD drive should be different from the syntax for discovering the set of partitions on the disk, because they take very different amounts of time.

Regards,
James.
