Hi, It's not implemented. But since you mention that a patched GRUB Legacy supports it, I assume there are a number of OSes that implement it. Can you provide us with a test case? This would make an implementation of the GRUB side much easier. Btw, would you like to work on this? It's not difficult, as we already support something analogous in the Linux loader. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
