Summary:  unattented boots with multiple terminals

Original Submission:  (Originally 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=175348 )

builtins.c:line 4049, in terminal_func()
  /* If multiple terminals are specified, wait until the user pushes any
     key on one of the terminals.  */

This is a problem.

I like that I can access GRUB through either a serial interface or the console, 
but when I have it configured that way, it won't boot on its own.  It waits for 
a keypress before it goes to the boot menu, regardless of what any of the 
timeout settings are.

the global section of my grub/menu.lst:

timeout 12
default 0
fallback 1
serial --unit=1 --speed=19200
terminal --dumb console serial
root (hd1,0)
