Leah Rowe 6e2c3f0234 post-merge bonerfixes
mistakes made during osbwww->lbmk merge have been corrected

mostly a few search/replace errors, and deleted pages that have since
been restored, or pages that were incorrectly scrubbed are now full; for
example, pages that said there are no releases yet (from osboot) have
been replaced with the version from libreboot that links to release archives,
which *do* exist in libreboot

i generally fixed all other minor issues with paragraphs that i found, where
the paragraphs made sense in osboot.org but did not so on libreboot.org

this is all of my fixes, after auditing the recent merge. no point splitting
them up. just patch it up and go!

Release 20140221 (4th release)

  • 21st February 2014

Officially supported

  • ThinkPad X60
  • ThinkPad X60s

Development notes

  • Removed SeaBIOS (redundant)
  • New GRUB version (2.02~beta2)
    • Fixes some USB issues
    • Includes ISOLINUX/SYSLINUX parser
  • New grub.cfg
  • Removed useless options:
    • options for booting sda 2/3/4
    • seabios boot option
  • Added new menu entries:
    • Parse ISOLINUX config (USB)
    • Parse ISOLINUX config (CD)
    • Added 'cat' module for use on GRUB command line.
  • "set pager=1" is set in grub.cfg, for less-like functionality

The "Parse" options read ./isolinux/isolinux.cfg on a CD or USB, and automatically converts it to a grub config and switches to the boot menu of that distro. This makes booting ISOs *much* easier than before.
