This is not a bug, but a question. I am a big fan of the lilo interface. It beeps, and then I hit one of 5 keys to launch one of 5 boots. Or I wait 3 seconds and it boots the default. That's all I want, and all I have any practical use for. But lilo is not supported any longer. So I have to start using grub. Can I get grub to emulate this interface?
The lilo message line I can do, I think, by catting a file with a bell in it. But I am on software raid 1. So I suppose I need two entries, for the two disks, with root and kernel and "cattable" message file on the respective disks. Is that right? Then I have terminal --dumb --silent --no-edit but how is that going to behave? I can't associate a letter, or label, with each title, the way you set a label in lilo. I won't know what to type, or what to do, and grub won't be talking to me. No, I don't want to buy another talking computer and have it be front end through the serial port. That's just overkill. Thanks for your thoughts. Karl Dahlke _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
