The timeout is due to http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?36755 , fixed in
bzr trunk in revision 4548. This problem needs to be better
documented, a point release of grub 2.00 made with this (and probably
other) fixes, or both. Also, it's easier and more dependable to use
grub-mknetdir rather than using grub-mkimage directly.
