Fix problem with systems with more than 2 GB memory (notably,
x86_64-based systems). Thanks Goswin Brederlow.

Bump PKGREVISION.
pkglint cleanup while here.
stage2/disk_io.c: adjust the partition start and size by RF_PROTECTED sectors for partitions of type FS_RAID.
stage2/fsys_ffs.c: accept partitions of type FS_RAID as candidates for FFS, too.
stage2/fsys_ufs2.c: accept partitions of type FS_RAID as candidates for FFSv2, too.
This allows grub to directly boot from NetBSD RAID1 partitions the same way
as with the native bootloader.
Bump PKGREVISION.
Bump PKGREVISION to 1. From Piotr Meyer in PR pkg/30834.
As GRUB 0.x is in maintenance-only status now, I assume there is no
chance to get them incorporated mainstream. We'll keep them here
though, as they seem useful (could have really helped me in some
situations when needing to boot single user).
Changes:
* Fix the prototypes and the definitions of nested functions. This was
required for gcc-4.
* Implement a more robust workaround for buggy BIOSes which don't pass
boot drive correctly (notably for HP Vectra).
New in 0.96 - 2005-01-30:
* The command "fallback" supports mutiple fallback entries.
* The command "savedefault" supports an optional argument which
is the number of next boot entry or the special keyword `fallback'.
* New utility "grub-set-default".
* New section "Making your system robust" in the manual.
GRUB_USE_UFS2/GRUB_USE_ISO9660, they are not longer needed.
New in 0.95 - 2004-06-13:
* Add support for ReiserFS 3.
* Fix support for FreeBSD 5.
* Support ATARAID for Linux in the grub shell and grub-install.
* Add CDROM support for El Torito with no emulation mode. You can use
(cd) as a CDROM drive in the config file.
* Option --no-mem-option is implied for Linux 2.4.18 and newer.
* Add support for UFS2.
* Support building on x86-64 with gcc -m32.
* Use a BIOS call to turn on/off Gate A20. This should solve various
problems related to Gate A20 in modern BIOSes.
* Add a workaround for buggy BIOSes (notably HP Vectra series) which
don't pass the boot drive correctly.
* Display "GNU GRUB" instead of "GRUB" in the menu.
* Add support for QNX RTP into the grub shell.
* Add support for the initrd max address of a kernel header in Linux.
* Support 32 bit and 64 bit dev_t.
* Add support for an install device in GRUB's notation with no
parenthesis (e.g. grub-install hd0).
* Improve the manual a lot.
While here, add a new build definition, GRUB_PRESET_COMMAND, which can be
set to a single command that will be embedded in grub's stage2 and executed
during bootup (useful for automated diskless setups). Also make use of
BUILD_DEFS properly. And pick up maintainership, as requested by tron@.
(Forward patch from the fix that finally went into grub's CVS)
The old way had problems finding disks and formatting curses output properly.
Fixes PR pkg/24214.
1) remove superfluous long in stage2/fsys_reiserfs.c (forward port from
current version in grub CVS)
2) provide an explicit memcpy stub so the memcpy inserted by gcc3 as
consequence of a pass-by-value can be linked against (patch from
Joachim Kainz in grub bug report 3343)
While here, convert to USE_NEW_TEXINFO, and make it compile.
[freestanding, but using nested functions; gcc emits __enable_exec_stack,
which lives in libgcc, but is not linked because the program is supposed
to be freestanding. Provide dummy __enable_exec_stack function.]
Bump PKGREVISION.
* Define the behavior of the boot loader when the load end address is
zero and the bss end address is zero in the Multiboot Specification.
Also, add the support into GRUB.
* Finally, we have a Bug Tracking System! Now the preferable way to
report bugs is to use the BTS rather than sending e-mail to bug-grub.
See <http://bugcomm.enbug.org/?project=grub&mode=project>, for more
details.
* The appendix "FAQ" in the manual is removed. See the GNU GRUB FAQ on
the web <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-faq.html> instead.
* The terminal handling code is rewritten radically, and many bugfixes
are made at the same time.
* The command "color" is effective even in the command-line.
* The command "terminal" takes two new options, ``--no-echo'' and
``--no-edit''. If you specify ``--no-echo'', GRUB won't echo back
input characters. If you specify ``--no-edit'', GRUB will disable the
BASH-like editing feature. These options are useful when using an
intelligent terminal (such as the comint mode in GNU Emacs).
* The utility ``grub-md5-crypt'' prompts to retype a password and checks
if the passwords match.
* Support for booting Linux is rewritten, so GRUB now supports
large-EBDA systems.
* The menu interfaces supports Page Up, Page Down, and Right Key.
* New command "terminfo", for vt100-incompatible terminals.
* New options, ``-D'', ``-g'' and ``-m'' are supported for FreeBSD.
* The command "displaymem" uses only hex digits for consistency.
* The netboot code goes back to the progress bars instead of dots, for
the notation of data transfers. And, that is displayed only in debug
mode, that is to say, nothing is displayed by default. Remember that
you can turn on debug mode via the command "debug".
* The command "help" doesn't show all the available commands by default,
when no argument is specified. Rarely used commands (such as
"testload") and useless commands in interactive use (such as
"savedefault") are hidden. If you want to see help messages for those
commands, specify the new option "--all".
* A built-in, `more'-like pager is added. When a command prints too many
lines to fit the screen, GRUB waits until you hit return key. This
feature can be turned off by the new command "pager".
* The command "terminal" accepts a new option, "--lines=LINES". You can
set the maximum number of lines arbitrarily with this option. If you
don't specify it, the maximum number will be 24.
* The command "terminal" accepts another new option, "--silent". You can
suppress the "Press any key to continue" message with this option.
* The mem= option for Linux is recognized and used to limit the maximum
address of initrd.
* A fallback entry is executed immediately after a default entry,
without prompting a user's intervention, as the manual has ever been
saying.
* The utility ``grub-install'' makes sure that GRUB images have been
written to a physical disk completely. To assist this feature, a new
command "dump" is added.
pkg/15065. I updated it to 0.91 and removed patch-aa which
the submitter already sent to the grub people.
GRUB is the GRand Unified Bootloader. Briefly, bootloader is the first
software program that runs when a computer starts. It is responsible for
loading and transferring control to the operating system kernel software
(such as NetBSD orLinux). GRUB understands ffs, FAT{16,32}, ext2fs,
ReiserFS, minixfs, and VSTafs. It can directly boot NetBSD, FreeBSD,
OpenBSD and Linux without any other bootloader, loading a.out and ELF
kernels from the disk and passing along necessary arguments (in most cases).
It can also boot any operating system (the above, plus eg Windows, OS/2) by
chaining to that operating system's specific loader. Grub features a
runtime command line and loads its configuration at boot rather than
requiring rerunning of a separate utility. Other features are TFTP booting,
serial console support, large disk support, support for both DOS MBR label
and BSD disklabel simultaneously, booting from hard drive or floppy.
GRUB is available for the i386 architecture only.
