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.
(savedefault): Describe an optional argument.
(Invoking grub-set-default): New chapter.

device names.

function.

* stage2/size_test (check): Don't use the local statement any
longer. It was unneeded actually. Reported by Paul Jarc.

All callers are changed.x
From Egmont Koblinger <egmont@uhulinux.hu>:
* util/grub-install.in: Support an install devices in GRUB's
notation without parentheses.
* docs/grub.texi (Installing GRUB using grub-install): Added an
example of using grub-install without parentheses.
* util/grub-install.in: Use the first word of GRUB_SHELL when
checking if the grub shell is present. This is necessary to
support options to the grub shell (e.g. grub --read-only).
From Eric Kvaalen <E_Kvaalen.Arnesen@noos.fr>:
* docs/grub.texi: Many bug fixes.
Migrated to newer autotools. Also, don't install mkbimage
because its name is too general and it does not conform to the
GNU Coding Standards in some points.
* util/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): New variable.
(sbin_SCRIPTS): Removed mkbimage.
(noinst_SCRIPTS): Added mkbimage.

* configure.in: Removed.
* configure.ac: New file. Mostly derived from configure.in.
* util/grub-md5-crypt.in: Prompt to retype a password, and check
if the passwords matches. Suggested by Matt Perry
<matt@primefactor.com>.
Also, don't use Perl any longer, because *BSD's sh and GNU
support ``read -r'', and GRUB doesn't support any other
operating system anyway.
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.
* lib/device.c (read_device_map): Show an error message and exit
abnormally, if MAP[DRIVE] has already been filled.
* util/grub-install.in: If there is any dulicated entry, print
an error message and exit abnormally.
* 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.
device for given file or directory. Resolve symlinks to fix
problem on Linux with devfs and old device names in /etc/fstab.
Use find_device() for root_device, bootdir_device and
grubdir_device.
