Have we integrated the patches for multiboot in our Linux kernel? These are necessary to get GRUB (GRand Unified Boot loader, available from ftp://ftp.uruk.org/public/grub/) working. GRUB is a new boot loader designed for the Hurd and Mach systems, but it should also work with Linux, *BSD, ... It seems to be more flexible and much nicer than LILO. So I think that we should give it a try. Perhaps we get one boot loader for all our architectures. With the kernel patches GRUB is able to locate the kernel on the hard disk and to boot it directly. Command line options can also be modified before the kernel is booted and not only before rebooting the system.
