If your goal is to solve the above problem, and not to play with "GRUB".
The solution is to boot directly from "u-boot" as in other distributions.
That way, the "boot messages" output, and the console switching by "Ctrl+Alt+Fn", both will work properly.
I have the Sigmaris U-Boot flashed to SPI. What did you mean by boot directly from U-Boot?
Aside from running the Debian installer, I've pretty much treated the Debian process as any other distro I've tried.
I'm clearly missing something here. Could you please elaborate?
On the other hand, I'm not afraid of modifying GRUB config. I just need to know the right entries.
If you're inclined to provide me with both methods, I'd be glad to give them a try.
And please forgive my ignorance as I'm a neophyte to the world of ARM. Your assistance is much appreciated.
