Hello!
All grub binaries installed in $prefix/bin and $prefix/sbin start with
"grub-" except mbchk and update-grub. mbchk is probably not meant to
be grub specific, but update-grub is.
I think it would be logical to rename update-grub to grub-update. Objections?

Ok, here's the patch. I also added 2008 to the copyright statement of modified
files.

Hi,
Change in this patch:
1. support OpenBSD kernel:
set root=(hd0,3,a)
openbsd /bsd
The modules name is changed to bsd.mod.
2. Support setting kernel flags
one character represent one flag, for FreeBSD, it's "DhaCcdgmnpqrsv",
for OpenBSD, it's "abcsd".
for example, to enable ask for root de

Hi,
Have you made progress regarding the re-licensing of the current grub
manual under GFDL ? (with no cover text and no invariant ?)

You put that function in a separate file, which indicates it is
This improves error handling notably in util/. For example, from:
$ ./grub-probe -t fs /
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1.
to:
$ ./grub-probe -t fs /
error: cannot open `/dev/sda1' (Permission denied)
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1.

Hi Robert,
You need to list every function or variable separately. [...]
If you use the -p option to diff it'll be easier to check it just by reading the
patch.
OK, thanks, I didn't know this. Next time... ;)
Is there really a need to strdup() it?
Yep. If you return the pointer (i.e. to `

Hi,
The following patch support freebsd a.out and elf, now you can load
the kernel directly.
1. Boot through loader:
set root=(hd0,0,a)
freebsd /boot/loader
It should be able to deduce the root device from the root variable.
I still see currdev=disk0s1c but that should be s1a, n

The following is a script that should be installed into `/etc/grub.d/os-prober'.
It uses Debian's `os-prober' package (if installed) to detect other operating
systems which are installed on the computer and add them to the boot menu. It's
up to you to decide if this is too Debian-specific or if yo
The following patch adds to grub-probe the ability to accept system devices as
arguments and e.g. convert between system devices and GRUB drives.
This patch is improved over the one from my previous posting and has some minor
issues fixed. Please use this version instead. It is all my work.
