Details:
This patch adds a new command to the grub builtins, which is a combination of
the "find" and "configfile" commands. It allows grub to search for a
configuration file on all partitions and load it automatically.
We are using it in a test CD which needs to reboot several times to find new
kernels. It will be used on many systems so we can't have a statically
assigned place on disk to keep the config data for which kernel to load next.
Instead, we save the next boot's grub config with a known path (in any
partition) and search for it at boot time using this "findconfig" command.
The patch is against the CVS source of 20051128
Cheers,
Tim Deegan
