Uh. I just don't understand why some people support GRUB as if it was the Holy
Grail made into bytes. GRUB depends on the BIOS. GRUB must be compiled with
support for a given filesystem. GRUB and LILO are both stupid.
ITOH, bootman is so amazingly close to perfection...
And the best free alternative to bootman, imo, is nuni
[http://freshmeat.net/projects/nuni/]. If not for using it as is (GPL), it's
small enough to provide us the required documentation to access the hard drive,
in real mode, without depending on the BIOS.
Good fishing ;D
