+The grub.cfg file is placed in the same directory as the path output by
ecb9bb
+grub-mknetdir hereafter referred to as FWPATH. GRUB will search for its 
ecb9bb
+configuration files in order using the following rules where the appended
ecb9bb
+value corresponds to a value on the client machine.

+The client will only attempt to look up an IPv6 address config once, however,
ecb9bb
+it will try the IPv4 multiple times. The concrete example below shows what
ecb9bb
+would happen under the IPv4 case.
