BUGS

@@ -1,22 +1,17 @@
 Known problems/bugs:
 
+  - GRUB cannot boot any uncommon format of floppies, such as 1.68MB.
+    Perhaps we should add support to embed a fixed geometry in a drive.
+
   - GRUB cannot boot FreeBSD 3.4 and 4.0 directly. So you must
     chain-load them instead.
 
-  - GRUB hangs up when accessing a disk via Adaptec AIC-7880
-    SCSI-controller in LBA mode. It is unknown if this is due to GRUB or
-    the SCSI BIOS. For now, you need to disable the BIOS support for
-    INT 13 Extension (that is, you can't use the LBA mode).
-
   - FreeBSD boot command-line options are slightly problematic, and
     OpenBSD options are probably quite wrong.  This is because they
     use options that are bits in a data word passed at boot time, and
     the developers change the encoding sometimes.  Will re-sync in a later
     release.
 
-  - Password feature in the config file is a bit primitive, and needs
-    fleshing out/design work to make more intuitive.
-
   - If an "uppermem" command was used to tell GRUB it had a different
     amount of upper memory available, then the user escapes to the menu
     interface, the upper memory displayed there still says the amount
