+The grub.cfg file is placed in the same directory as the path output by
8631a2
+grub-mknetdir hereafter referred to as FWPATH. GRUB will search for its 
8631a2
+configuration files in order using the following rules where the appended
8631a2
+value corresponds to a value on the client machine.

+The client will only attempt to look up an IPv6 address config once, however,
