It won't be too difficult to implement it using the prtpart utility in BeleniX combined with the basic filesystem reading code from Grub. We'd have an utility that can grovel through disk partitions and build up menu.lst entries. This can for eg. be a good candidate to go into the Indiana installer and eventually into Nevada. I had the intent of implementing this in prtpart for a while now.
