Details

When you're in the grub menu from archlinux-installer (I think aif has this too), at 2 points a line is being echo'd to stdout, which breaks the ncurses layout momentarily at these 2 moments.

I will figure out when/why this happens, and fix it in aif.
This task depends upon

maybe just add a 1>&2 line to the grub call? stderr is redirected, right?

ftr: this is still the case in 2009.02 rc2 (I don't consider this urgent though)
