Hello,
I tried to install Grub2 under FreeBSD but grub-install failed because readlink
doesn't understand -f and stat doesn't have -c. I edited grub-mkconfig_lib.in
to use different commands instead. I'm not sure it's the right way to handle
this difference but it worked. The patch is attached.

I would disagree with the use case described, but agree that having the
ability to roll back to the previous boot record could possibly be of
valu
Hi,
I think this would be a good feature, because if nothing else, I
permits the user to "uninstall grub" if they so wish.
So, if a user has installed Linux, so that their system now dual boots
Windows and Linux, and they then decide to uninstall Linux and return
to a Windows only setup.
It should

Hi,
I am using grub 2.
The stage 1 bit of grub, that stores itself in the partition table and
the following sectors, seems to be quite large.
I have a HP server system that only has 32 512-bytes sectors free
before the first partition but the grub core does not fit in there. It

vga=ask only works with the old linux loader, linux16.
