This needs to be reverted or the sourcing order needs to be changed....

What happens is that when lib-ui-interactive.sh is sourced 
$var_TARGET_DIR is not yet set, resulting in 
grubmenu="$var_TARGET_DIR/boot/grub/menu.lst" equaling 
/boot/grub/menu.lst instead of /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst

I attempted to figure out the sourcing order, however I failed. 
var_TARGET_DIR is set in core/procedures/base. Maybe this can be sourced 
before lib-ui-interactive?

In my brief (non-rebooted) install test /boot/grub/menu.lst (on the live 
cd) was being edited instead of the one on the target system Since I 
didn't reboot I didn't realize this until I was working on my Syslinux code.
