I started thinking about it, but nothing written yet :-(
I believe the disk naming conversion could be quite tricky
Other suggestions for grub : internationalisation and
keyboard selection (at least at compile time) : should
be useful for production use in future Mandrake release.

May I suggest you build a grub floppy with ext2 filesystem on
it, (and stage2 and menu.lst) so you can safely try all the features of grub. If you
wish, I can send you an image of
such a disk, you just need to edit menu.lst on it.
Anyway, the safe way to install grub on an hard drive seems to
do it from a floppy.
