OK, your ChangeLog does not conform to the standard, but I've added
the netboot support into the CVS after rewriting the ChangeLog (that's
what I'm already doing for contributors for GRUB, though I don't
actually want to do it).
I have already fixed some problems in your patches, but there seems
to be more problems. An example is that GRUB cannot be compiled when
configuring it with the option --enable-ne.
Thanks,
