What about the boot mechanisms of all other architectures? Open-Firmware machines use GRUB as well and they have a boot sector. Other architectures use GRUB via chainloading with uboot, so you need to include this well if you want to be comprehensive. And s390x supports GRUB as well. Do you want to include all these, too? > - hard disks are no longer the only/mainly used storage media (depending on > architecture); these days we are installing OS'es on SD cards or USB > thumbdrives for example. What about virtual devices? Is "drive" appropriate in these cases or should it be "disk image"? Adrian -- .''`.
