Uhm maybe it'd be better to mention what the emulation is for. As it is,
user
might wonder what is the appropiate --emulation value for
--image-type=floppy,
or even why --emulation=floppy doesn't produce floppy images.
What do you think?
OK, e.g.

"El Torito" Standard 1.0 (1995) specifies 5 emulation modes:
0 No Emulation
1 1.2MB Floppy
2 1.44MB Floppy
3 2.88MB Floppy

The patch also adds a --joliet option, useful to access the long file

Is there any drawback in using --joliet ? If not, I think it's better to do

You'd have to require root permissions, which IMO beats the point of having
a separate script from grub-install in first place.

Since it is a flag for enabling a compatibility option, I think it's more

Now the CD boots, but the result is interesting:
Real PC: escape to rescue mode, root=hd31, no (cd0) device, no modules.
VMWare: same.
VirtualPC: escape to rescue mode, root=cd15, (cd0) exists, normal mode
can be started manually.
VirtualBox: Works as expected.

Quoting Robert Millan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
You could ask Marco or Okuji and see what they think about it. If they

I'm neither of both, but here are my two cents:
