Not tested yet, will do now.

Tested seveal months ago, had a conversation with the author about the
QEMU bug (unfortunately, the proposed fix broke something in SUSE) and
the bogus LANG=en argument being appended to the kernel command line.
Drawbacks:

 * Triggers a keyboard/mouse emulation bug in QEMU and KVM
 * Has no config file, attempts to guess append the "root=/dev/hdXY"
parameter automatically.
 * Thus, is incompatible with libata until this guessing is disabled
(one can do it from the command line of the installer).
 * This manual override works only on a global basis, thus, one cannot
explain that one kernel (from a host distro) should be used with one
root partition, while the other kernel has another root.

The last item makes this boot loader unsuitable for LFS, since LFS
relies on the ability to dual-boot LFS and the host until one installs
a DHCP client and a web browser.
