2009-04-13 Thread John Stanley
Hi all, I was wondering what the current status of a grub2 port of the grub-0.97 "map" and "rootnoverify" commands is? I have found some work done to this end in the "drivemap.patch" work, but I find nothing more recent than drivemap.patch.8 dated around Aug 2008. I have taken drivemap.patc
