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.

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.
