AFAICS, GRUB is already running in normal mode.
Otherwise, it would print the rescue prompt "grub rescue>" instead of 
the normal prompt "grub>", and "set" would not print as much information.

It looks GRUB just does not load the config file.
Instead of typing "normal", you could type "configfile $prefix/grub.cfg" 
to load the config file.

Are you sure ? It appears that $prefix points to a directory gpt1 to 
look for grub.cfg and other GRUB files.
