  Log Message:
  -----------
  Update Grml cheatcodes + clean up isolinux bootprompt options

- updated description of the Isolinux bootprompt options to match actual
  behavior:

  - floppy uses syslinux' `localboot 0x0` command
  - hd .. hd3 use syslinux' `localboot 0x80` to `localboot 0x83` command
  - hd0 / fd0 use syslinux' chain.c32 COM module to chainload the
    according MBR
  - debug does not provide any shells during the boot process.

- add links to syslinux documentation (esp. for localboot + chain.c32)
- grml debug [...] was dropped as it was not working under systemd as
  intended, see: grml/grml#3 + grml/grml-autoconfig at f9648a3
- debug, nofb, nokms + serial were defined in hidden.cfg + grml.cfg but
  grml.cfg takes precedence.
- removed `video=ofonly` from all boot parameters as it does nothing.

  | Where this came from has been lost by the sands of time, but it doesn't
  | relate to any PowerPC mac these days and hasn't been good advice since,
  | well 10.04, and possibly before that.  Now that framebuffers are modules
  |  (that are blacklisted), the boot parameter video=ofonly in fact does
  | nothing.  IT HAS TO BE CHANGED as it is just wasting people's time.

Closes: grml/grml#9
