That's how I do it too. Plain old grub on many amd64 systems, nothing
special. I do disable splashimage too, it never seems to work for me
without using genkernel.
When grub is running and showing it's menu, the only thing active
video-wise should be good old VGA. Hard to imagine what could go wrong
with VGA in 80x25 text mode
