Up until recently, my autoyast.xml file never had a bootloader section
at all, and everything worked fine.  I recently needed to set a few
kernel parameters at boot, which forced me to have to add a bootloader
section, as follows:

      <bootloader>
            <global config:type="list">
              <global_entry>
                <key>prompt</key>
                <value config:type="boolean">false</value>
              </global_entry>
            </global>
              <kernel_parameters>console=ttyS0,115200
console=tty0</kernel_parameters>
            <loader_device></loader_device>
            <loader_type>grub</loader_type>
            <location>mbr</location>
            <sections config:type="list"/>
      </bootloader>

Unfortunately, the entire thing is a mess now.  For starters, no
default is set in /boot/grub/menu.lst.  All it has is a line with the
word "default" and nothing else.  I'm also rather annoyed by the fact
that SUSE isn't consistent from one release to another on their syntax
for the default.  Sometimes its "default 0" other times its
"default=0".

Additionally, no timeout entry appears at all.  All that I want is to have:
default=0
timeout=3

The autoyast documentation is rather lacking in how to specify any of
these parameters.
