All symbols prefixed with PUPA_ and pupa_ are renamed to GRUB_ and grub_, respectively. Because the conversion is trivial and mechanical, I omit the details here. Please refer to the CVS if you need more information.

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader.
|
|
GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more
|
|
robust, more powerful, and more portable.
|
|
|
|
Because GRUB 2 was formerly developed under the project PUPA, there
|
|
remain still many places where PUPA is used instead of GRUB 2. So
|
|
suppose that PUPA is a synonym of GRUB 2 for now.
|
|
|
|
See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2.
|
|
|
|
See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
|
|
GRUB 2 data and program files.
|
|
|
|
Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information.
|
|
The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because GRUB 2 is still in developmental stage, GRUB 2 is not for general
|
|
use (yet). For now, you can install GRUB 2 into a floppy by these
|
|
instructions:
|
|
|
|
$ configure && make
|
|
$ ./grub-mkimage -v -d . -o core.img _chain ext2
|
|
$ dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
|
|
$ dd if=core.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1
|

It would be easier to use Bochs <http://bochs.sf.net/> than a real
|
|
machine.
