[ELECTRON] GRUB error 17 [WAS: Re: [ELECTRON_MEMBERS] Reminder - City Stroll - 7 March]

[Joseph Kerr]

I checked that one on the forums already. I do not have that entry in
the bios so I cannot follow those directions. I am looking for some
way of getting to the grub or linux prompt once I get that error 17
message. Thanks
