needing to be compiled with serial support.

simpler. Rename "wait" to "pause". Rename "sysreq" to "sysrq".
(keysym_table): Rename "num5numlock" to "numlock".

Vladimir Serbinenko).
(GNU/Linux): Update for GRUB 2.

DOS-style "\r\n" line endings as simple newlines (Debian bug
#586358).
(GRUB_MOD_INIT): Use extcmd.
(GRUB_MOD_FINI): Likewise.
* docs/grub.texi (cat): Document --dos.
available as a user override instead. Replace the gfxterm backend
check with a check that ${GRUB_PREFIX}/video.lst is non-empty.
* util/grub.d/00_header.in (load_video): New generated function.
Call it before loading gfxterm rather than loading
${GRUB_VIDEO_BACKEND}.
