And, last but not least, can boot OSes from network ;) I am sure that
something can be done, of course. But the main mainteners of GRUB (Okuji
and Gordon) seem a bit busy at the moment, and I have promised to look
for an item in the TODO list and spend time... looking for time to do it
actually.

This will probably be done sooner or later. But if you, or someone, can
provide patches for, say, support of iso9660 fs, the sooner might happen
sooner ;)
