[grub #6] Netboot code out of date.

[willo]

Reporter: address@hidden
Summary: Netboot code out of date.
Version: grub-0.93
Type: action request

Message:
It appears that the netboot code is based off of 'etherboot-5.0.5', which is 
almost a year out of date.  It would be nice if grub was kept more up to sycn 
with the package that it takes this code from, at least for revision releases 
of grub.

I'm personally trying to use netboot grub to make a All-in-One boot floppy for 
my NFS-Root GNU/Linux, which will be used for computer imaging, as well as 
general "insta-linux" boots on machines that are normally Windows.

I'm aware that I can use the kernel itself on the floppy, instead of TFTP-ing 
it, but the kernel is really big, because of the need for one kernel to work on 
a variety of i386 machines.

Just sharing my wishes,
