Public bug reported:

When (re)booting, the GRUB boot menu does not appear.  Instead, a black
rectangle - where the boot menu should otherwise appear - is displayed.

A picture is attached herewith.  It shows the said black rectangle.
Please excuse the glossy screen, and the consequent poor visibility.
The black rectangle is clearly visible in the left-bottom corner of the
first picture.

The absence of a boot menu makes it virtually impossible for me to try
any other kernel, pass boot options, etc.
