_Really_ nice. But, where's the patch? Just a few binaries aren't very useful. > With patch, grub can access cdrom disk at anytime, by using: > > `scdrom --install' That means after "scdrom --install" you can use "root (cd0)" to access the cdrom as root device? If that is so, I think what "scdrom --install" does should be implicit to the "root (cd0)" command (You can add a hook for this in stage2/disk_io.c where device names are parsed). > Yeah, this patch can let grub trans control to this cdrom > disk(I mean, boot from cd directlly), by using: > > `scdrom --bootcd' I think this one should be merged in the "chainloader" command.
