Yeah, I was hoping I could take the easy way out and adapt GRUB's reiserfs
support to aboot for the 0.9 release, but it didn't work out - aboot would
read or two deep and then crash. Something about the way GRUB and aboot
handle memory differently gave it problems, I suspect. I eventually gave
up, patched a few other things, and released 0.9 without reiserfs support.
If anyone wants to try to fix up and complete my old, abortive attempt,
I'll give them the source, but I warn you in advance that it's very ugly,
written against an old, unreleased version of aboot, and it's probably a
better idea to just start from scratch.
