Known problems/bugs:
- Try `d' to delete the selected line while editing a menu entry
(maybe only when deleting the last line). Everything goes to hell.
- 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

Treat `(hd)/boot/grub/menu.lst' as searching through the hard drives
for a partition that contains /boot/grub/menu.lst. Either this, or
`(hd:0x82)' means the first partition of type 0x82. We need one of
these dynamic search mechanisms for clean Hurd install floppies.
Get /sbin/grub to work.
Syntax:
Change partition syntax to correspond with BSD ``slice'' syntax
(`(hd0,1a)' -> `/dev/hd0s2a').
(hd0,0) -> hd0s1
(hd0,1,b) -> hd0s1b
(hd0) -> hd0
Add a partition naming syntax that means ``the first partition of this
type''. We need this for clean Hurd install floppies.
Find out the size restrictions for FAT and ext2fs stage1.5 boot blocks.
Find out the size restrictions for FAT and ext2fs stage1.5 boot
blocks. Enforce all arbitrary limits using the Makefiles.
Check for other patches sent in e-mail!!! There are several...
Look at network booting.
Add stripped-down Guile support, and rewrite current behaviour in
Scheme. Make sure not to break backward compatibilty, or else we'll
be roasted by anti-Guile people.
Add internationalization support, emulating gettext as much as is
feasible.
Maybe add BIOS password support. In any event, improve the existing
password support.
Add support/delays so that a floppy can be installed from
another floppy.
