Hi GRUB hackers.
Mr OKUJI, well done, the serial stuff. I have tested in on the grub
running on a shell (not as boot loader), up to now.
Two open problems (of course there are more....)
* If the line exceeds the 80 chars, then the input is done in the same
line, not in the next. The same is true for my implmentation,
here there seems to be a problem with the cursor position
request.
* The cursor keys do not work. You can take the key converting from my
implementation I sent you a month (or more) ago. In my
implementation it works (up, down, left, right, HOME, END,
etc....)
Thank you, that it is also in your interest to have serial support
here, and thanks for your work on GRUB.
With friendly regards
