[PATCH] grub-mkconfig patch for MINIX

[Fam Zheng]

Hi,

`os-prober` was not able to detect recent MINIX installations, so we patched for the new detection and sent the patch to Debian, it's found at:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2010/08/msg00282.html

MINIX is now able to be Multibooted besides chainloading, so it's necessary to handle the result of os-prober accordingly. The patch for GRUB 2 is made then, to generate a Multiboot menu entry when detected system type is "minix".
