Bug#541336: RM: grub [kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64] -- ROM; not useful without external program that's not present in Debian



Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

grub isn't useful on kfreebsd-* without an external program (/boot/loader)
which is not present in Debian.  Because of this, latest version (0.97-56)
no longer provides binaries for these arches.

(Earlier when kfreebsd-* were unofficial arches, the corresponding grub
binaries were not in Debian either, so this wasn't a problem)

GNU/kFreeBSD users can rely on GRUB 2 instead.  GRUB 2 includes complete
support for loading kernels of FreeBSD, without reliing on any intermediate
loader.

-- System Information:
Debian Release: 5.0.2
  APT prefers stable
  APT policy: (500, 'stable')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)

Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-libre2-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=ca_AD.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ca_AD.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
