This is a big change on saving a default entry. This change
makes it possible to set up a quite robust system using GRUB.
Now we do not use the second sector of Stage 2 to store an
entry number but use the file /boot/grub/default. This file
must be generated by grub-set-default, although this file is
plain-text.
* util/grub-set-default.in: New file.
* util/grub-install.in (grub_set_default): New variable.
Use /grub instead of /boot/grub on OpenBSD as well as NetBSD.
Run grub-set-default to make a default file.
* util/Makefile.am (sbin_SCRIPTS): Added grub-set-default.
* stage2/stage2.c (run_menu): Change the fallback handling to
support multiple fallback entries.
(cmain): Likewise. Also, get a saved entry from a default file
if possible, before reading a config file.
* stage2/shared.h (DEFAULT_FILE_BUF): New macro.
(DEFAULT_FILE_BUFLEN): Likewise.
(CMDLINE_BUF): Set to DEFAULT_FILE_BUF + DEFAULT_FILE_BUFLEN.
(MENU_BUFLEN): Set to 0x8000 + PASSWORD_BUF - MENU_BUF.
(fallback_entry): Removed.
(fallback_entries): Declared.
(fallback_entryno): Likewise.
(MAX_FALLBACK_ENTRIES): New macro.
* stage2/cmdline.c (run_script): Use FALLBACK_ENTRYNO instead of
FALLBACK_ENTRY.
* stage2/builtins.c (fallback_entry): Removed.
(fallback_entryno): New variable.
(fallback_entries): Likewise.
(init_config): Initialize FALLBACK_ENTRYNO and FALLBACK_ENTRIES.
(fallback_func): Rewritten completely.
(savedefault_func): Likewise.
* docs/grub.texi (grub-set-default): New direntry.
(Installation): Describe grub-set-default for manual
installations.
(Making your system robust): New section.
(Booting once-only): New subsection.
(Booting fallback systems): Likewise.
(fallback): Describe multiple fallback entries.

* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Added util/grub-set-default.
* docs/grub.texi (Making a GRUB bootable CD-ROM): minor edits,
including a few compatibility notes and a change to
-boot-load-size 4 for the mkisofs command.
* docs/grub.texi (Making a GRUB bootable CD-ROM): New section.
* stage2/disk_io.c (set_device): Use CH instead of *DEVICE to
test the first character of DEVICE, because DEVICE is
incremented.
Reported by Bernhard Treutwein.
* netboot/fsys_tftp.c (buf_fill): Cast 1 to unsigned short
explicitly so that the constant doesn't extend unsigned short
to int automatically.
Reported by Eduard Guzovsky <eguzovsk@enterasys.com>.
* docs/grub.texi (Invoking grub-md5-crypt): Fixed the chapter
name.

notation without parentheses.
* docs/grub.texi (Installing GRUB using grub-install): Added an
example of using grub-install without parentheses.

* docs/grub.texi: Many bug fixes.
directory for the menu.lst file, so I corrected this to /boot/grub or
/boot/boot/grub with a comment in parenthesises about /boot being a

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!
