Hi,
I read in previous mails that eltorito support would be getting worked on
for the summer of code projects, and that it should be getting merged into
the grub2 codebase at somepoint.
Im just wondering what is the current situation with this? Is there any
timeline when it will be completed?

Ah great .. just tried it and now VMWare detects the cdrom correctly
LS now lists (fd0) (hd0) and (hd31)
though the naming does seem odd
in Qemu

OK,
Currently theres 2 problems im aware of that I could use some verification

Compiles perfectly with the patch here.
Without the patch grub fails to compile when configured with
"--enable-grub-emu --enable-grub-fstest"
FWIW - This patch has been used in the AROS build of grub for the best
part of the last year - without it SFS doesnt work.

Sounds great phcoder,
Anything that removes grubs dependency on a *nix-specific environment has
to be a good thing imho (or is it the grand *nix bootloader?)
