Package: grub
Version: 0.94+cvs20040511-1
Severity: normal

Here is output from a call to mkbimage.  Besides the fact that it fails
to actually do anything, it also doesn't return an error exit status,
which means that scripts calling mkbimage think it succeeded!

If you have created an image aimed to a floppy, then something like:

dd if=<type>.image of=/dev/fd0[u<size>] bs=512

will be more than enough... if you have formated the floppy correctly
using `superformat' to be found in `fdutils' package.

For El Torito floppy emulation :

mkisofs -b <image> -c boot.catalog -o raw.iso <dir>

And for El Torito Hard Disk emulation:

mkisofs -b <image> -hard-disk-boot -c boot.catalog -o raw.iso <dir>

 .
   [ Otavio Salvador ]
   * update-grub: Improve sorting with mixed numeric and non-numeric
     characters. Thanks dann frazier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for the
     patch. Closes: #422759
 .
   [ Robert Millan ]
   * Add myself to Uploaders.
   * update-grub: Remove core.img handling.  It was becoming meaningless
     without presence of the grub-pc package.
   * control (Architecture): Replace any-* arches with the old, boring,
     hardcoded list.  (Closes: #424510)
   * Get rid of grub-disk, mkbimage and grub-floppy.  They're deprecated
     in favour of grub-rescue-pc now.  (Closes: #399168, #250938, #429576,
     #352731)
