Enabling OverlayFS on Ubuntu 20.04 makes GNU GRUB selection pop up at boot

ke flag

I followed this great tutorial on how to enable overlayfs, basically just involves setting the file:

/etc/overlayroot.conf

to

overlayroot_cfgdisk="disabled"
overlayroot="tmpfs:swap=1,recurse=0"oot="tmpfs:swap=1,recurse=0"

Then rebooting. It work great, but theres some strange side effect that at boot, GNU GRUB pops up and asks me what I want to do:

GNU GRUB version 2.04
---------------------

*Ubuntu
 Advanced options for UIbuntu
 UEFI Firmware Setting

---------------------
Use up and down arrow to select which entry is highlighted.
Press enter to boot the selected OS.....

I have tried looking at my BIOS boot order settings, did not help. If I disable OverlayFS, the request for the selection goes away.

How can I have OverlayFS without the request to select option at boot with GNU GRUB?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
