pkgsrc-wip/grub2/MESSAGE
Grégoire Sutre 788b77d5e2 Rewrite of grub2 package.
- based on official distribution version 1.97.1.
- patches to fix configuration, compilation and installation
  (see README.patches).
- options:
  . new option `grub-mkfont', which induces a dependency on freetype2.
  . use of PKG_OPTIONS_VAR for handling of options in PLIST.
- makefile:
  . explicit support of opendisk on NetBSD (this really belongs to the
    configure script -- bug report sent upstream).
  . build dependency on help2man for man page generation.
- moved potentially non-obsolete stuff into README.attic.

GRUB 2 is in development stage and is still neither complete nor well
tested. Anyways, just installing this package can do no harm.
To actually install GRUB 2 to disk, use grub2-install utility. Do not do it
unless you understand what it actually does, for it may lead to loss of
data when used improperly. Refer to the address below for more information.
Be sure to consult GRUB wiki [1] before using GRUB 2, and in particular the
manual [2].
Using package emulator/qemu for testing GRUB 2 is a good idea, indeed.
Enjoy GRUB. Your feedback is welcome.
