[Buildroot] [PATCH] grub2: fix a few minor issues in help text

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Dear Jérôme Pouiller,

(Side-note: could you try to avoid sending your e-mails twice to the
mailing list: you're posting to both buildroot at busybox.net and
buildroot at uclibc.org. Thanks!)

Really nice! Could you write a patch that extends the Config.in help
text of grub2 to include this information? I'm wondering how the
writing of the boot.img at offset 0 doesn't overwrite the partition
table.

Best regards,
