What we need is firmware-independant support. I can live with the PXE-on-BIOS hack if it's useful, but what we're supposed to have is a driver framework like the one in GRUB Legacy, not a stub for each firmware type. Reliing on firmware is problematic, because it's usually proprietary and buggy, we shouldn't do it if it can be avoided. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
