Excellent! I'm glad to see that the emulator runs on your machine,
too. I've installed your patches.

I was aware of this, and should have mentioned this to you
before... it would have saved you some time.

I think the user should be able to specify a file or directory, and
then /sbin/grub should determine the partition that the file lives on,
and use it.
Something like:
--config-file=CFG use CFG as the stage2 emulator's configuration file
[default=/boot/grub/menu.lst]
--install-partition=PTN use PTN as the stage2 emulator's install_partition
[default=partition containing CFG]
This is vague, but I hope it gives you good ideas.
