With http://grub.enbug.org/BIOS_Boot_Partition being down at the moment,
I went to look at what corresponding documentation there was in the
manual.........
One question that I cannot find an answer for in the manual here :-
18.1 GRUB only offers a rescue shell
It explains that the only available commands are ls, set, unset and insmod.
So what use is it?
Assuming that a module is missing or a variable is incorrect, and these
are corrected with insmod and set - what next?
I can see no way to boot after correcting things without a 'boot'
command available. If you can't boot, why bother with set or insmod.
I just don't get it!
