Hello.exe: lessons learned

[Pavel Roskin]

Hello!

The GRUB shell crashes while attempting to boot *BSD images.
The patch is attached

ChangeLog:
        * stage2/boot.c [GRUB_UTIL]: new function bsd_boot_entry
        (bsd_boot) [GRUB_UTIL]: point entry_addr to bsd_boot_entry
        to avoid real booting

Something strange happens with "fsmax" variable on FAT. It is set to
1024, which prevents loaing kernels from FAT floppies.
Looks like the FAT32 patch should be overhauled completely.

Also decompression of kernels doesn't seem to work in the GRUB shell.
