Known problems/bugs:
|
|
|
|
- The dumb terminal doesn't work properly. It doesn't work well with
|
|
a long command-line, and when a non-empty command-line string is
|
|
set, it doesn't work with Emacs expectedly.
|
|
|
|
- The auto-filling mechanism doesn't work correctly with the serial
|
|
terminal.
|
|
|
|
- In the netboot code, tlan and fa311 are not used, even though they
|
|
are distributed. That's because the entry for tlan is commented out
|
|
in the file "NIC" of Etherboot, and fa311 isn't used actually in
|
|
Etherboot. Probably they will be fixed in next version of Etherboot.
|
|
|
|
- The command "geometry" doesn't work with a floppy very well. This
|
|
bug was incorporated after the rewrite of the partition scanning
|
|
code by okuji.
|
|
|
|
- GRUB cannot boot newer versions of NetBSD or OpenBSD directly.
|
|
|
|
- The command "map" seems not to work in some environments.
|
|
|
|
- GRUB cannot boot any uncommon format of floppies, such as 1.68MB.
|
|
Perhaps we should add support to embed a fixed geometry in a drive.
|
|
|
|
- GRUB cannot boot FreeBSD 3.4 and 4.0 directly. So you must
|
|
chain-load them instead.
|
|
|
|
- FreeBSD boot command-line options are slightly problematic, and
|
|
OpenBSD options are probably quite wrong. This is because they
|
|
use options that are bits in a data word passed at boot time, and
|
|
the developers change the encoding sometimes. Will re-sync in a later
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
- If an "uppermem" command was used to tell GRUB it had a different
|
|
amount of upper memory available, then the user escapes to the menu
|
|
interface, the upper memory displayed there still says the amount
|
|
set by the user instead of being reset to the default by the escape.
|
|
It actually resets when the next command-line is entered or config
|
|
file entry is executed.
|
|
|
|
- There is at least one problem when using an "install_partition" that is
|
|
a BSD sub-partition where the PC partition isn't explicit (i.e.
|
|
the default 0xFF00FF is a problem)... this is when using "makeactive"
|
|
without explicitly setting the root partition. If this is done, a
|
|
"no such partition" error will be generated.
|
|
|
|
- Cannot boot FreeBSD "kzip"ed image. Use a normal kernel (using GRUB's
|
|
automatic "gzip" decompression works fine).
|
|
|
|
- Hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete when in GRUB locks some machines. Use Reset
|
|
for now. (This apparently hasn't been observed for a while)
