G'day
I know grub doesn't support scripts yet, but scripts probably would
be useful for booting the Hurd. Anyway, I'm wondering what the
syntax of the grub scripts would be.
I was thinking a couple scripting commands, eg
script /boot/grub-boot
script would read the file specified and use each line in the file
as a command.
modulescript /boot/servers.boot
modulescript would read the file using each line as a module line
for grub. Having modulescript would allow a sysadmin to use the
same boot script for sub-hurds as well as the main hurd.
For any script # would denote comments.
Does this make sense?
