Re: bug report requested by grub-install

[Leeman Strout]

As a follow on to this, the output from grub-mkimage

tester grub.d # grub-mkimage --output=/boot/grub/core.img ext2 _chain 
part_msdos part_gpt biosdisk lvm
Target format not specified (use the -O option).
Try `grub-mkimage --help' for more information.


It provides a list of possible image formats with no explanation, the 
man page is the same exact output with nicer formatting.  The wiki also 
has no mention of the -O option that I've found.
