Define the behavior of the boot loader when the load end address
and the bss end address are zero in the Multiboot Specification,
and add the support into GRUB. I've modified a patch from Yuri
Zaporogets <yuriz@ukr.net>.
* stage2/boot.c (load_image): In the case of Multiboot a.out
kludge, set the load end address to the load address plus the
size of the OS image file, if it is zero. Similarly, set the bss
end address to the load end address, if it is zero.
* util/mbchk.c (check_multiboot): Don't check if the load
address is greater than or equal to the load end address, if the
load end address is zero. Don't check if the load end address is
greater than the bss end address, if the bss end address is
zero. And, don't check if the load end address is less than or
equal to the entry address, if the load end address is zero.
* docs/multiboot.texi (The address fields of Multiboot header):
Added descriptions about the behavior of the boot loader when
LOAD_END_ADDR is zero and BSS_END_ADDR is zero.
* netboot/etherboot.h (ETH_MAX_MTU): Because some DHCP/BOOTP
servers don't treat the maximum length the same as Etherboot,
subtract the size of an IP header and that of an UDP header.
* stage2/builtins.c [GRUB_UTIL] (dump_func): New function.
[GRUB_UTIL] (builtin_dump): New variable.
(builtin_table) [GRUB_UTIL]: Added a pointer to BUILTIN_DUMP.
* util/grub-install.in: Make sure that GRUB reads the same
images as the host operating system by comparing the result of
running the command "dump" with the contents of the OS file.
* docs/grub.texi (General commands): Added ``pager'' into the
menu.
(pager): New subsection.
(terminal): Added a description about the option
``--lines=LINES''.
* configure.in (AC_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Set the version number to
0.92.
* stage2/stage2.c (run_menu): Call cls outside the loop to run
scripts.
* stage2/cmdline.c (run_script): Prompt a user's intervention,
only when FALLBACK_ENTRY is negative.
* grub/main.c (OPT_NO_PAGER): New macro.
(longopts): Added an entry for "--no-pager".
(usage): Added a description about "--no-pager".
(main): In case of OPT_NO_PAGER, set USE_PAGER to zero. The same
thing is done with OPT_BATCH, because the pager is just harmful
in batch mode.
* grub/main.c (use_preset_menu): New variable.
(OPT_PRESET_MENU): New macro.
(longopts): Added an entry for "--preset-menu".
(usage): Added a description for "--preset-menu". Also, change
the first character of the description for "--device-map" to
lower case for consistency.
(main): Set USE_PRESET_MENU to 1 in the case of OPT_PRESET_MENU.
* stage2/shared.h (use_preset_menu): Declared.
* stage2/stage2.c [PRESET_MENU_STRING || SUPPORT_DISKLESS]
(open_preset_menu) [GRUB_UTIL]: If USE_PRESET_MENU is false,
return zero immediately.
assignments received by the FSF.
Jason Thomas was added.
Erich Stefan Boleyn was moved into those who assigned their copyrights.
Gordon Matzigkeit was moved into the others, because he still wasn't listed
in fencepost.gnu.org:/gd/gnuorg/copyright.list.
The remaining problem is that we haven't had copyright assignments of
VaX#8, Heiko Schroeder and Gordon Matzigkeit. As for the first two, Erich
is now trying to contact them by proxy. So I'm just waiting.
As for Gordon.... oh, what are you doing, Gordon?! Hurry up, please!
clear the active flag of each of the loaded partition entries,
and then set the active flag of the booted partition image.
