|
|---|
| 289 |
|
|---|
| 290 | 2006-03-09 version 0.4.2pre2
|
|---|
| 291 |
|
|---|
| 292 | The directory `boot/grub/' was removed from the release tree(GRUB4DOS
|
|---|
| 293 | does not use the stage files at boot time). The default config file for
|
|---|
| 294 | GRUB.EXE was changed to (hd0,0)/menu.lst(but preset_menu still locates
|
|---|
| 295 | (hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst when (hd0,0)/menu.lst does not exist).
|
|---|
| 296 |
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 306 | driver and be started in CONFIG.SYS with a DEVICE line.
|
|---|
| 307 |
|
|---|
| 308 | Better IODELAY was made for initialization of PIC to fix the
|
|---|
| 309 | keyboard-not-responding problem when running through KEXEC.
|
|---|
| 310 |
|
|---|
| 311 | Better A20 gate control was made to help fix various problems on the
|
|---|
| 312 | boot of grub.
|
|---|
| 313 |
|
|---|
| 314 | 2005-12-14 version 0.4.1
|
|---|
| 315 | Fixed a partition enumeration bug(in disk_io.c). Fixed a bug of mapping
|

| 317 | failure when `find --set-root' on a CD-ROM device(in builtins.c). Added
|
|---|
| 318 | a new feature of directly chainloading ntldr and some dos kernels.

|---|
| 328 |
|
|---|
| 329 | 2005-10-18 version 0.4.1pre29
|
|---|
| 330 | Added ram disk device (rd) to access, typically, the initrd image.
|
|---|
| 331 | Added many new command-line options for bootlace.com to install GRLDR
|
|---|
| 332 | boot record onto the boot sector of a floppy. A few bugs about
|
|---|
| 333 | "map --mem" were fixed. Another bug about finding grldr in NTFS was
|
|---|
| 334 | also fixed. It may cause the machine to hang up when there is no ntfs
|
|---|
| 335 | boot record in the boot area of the NTFS partition.
|
|---|
| 336 |
|
|---|
| 337 | 2005-09-25 version 0.4.1pre28
|
|---|
| 338 | Commandline option --config-file="FILENAME_OR_RAW_COMMANDS" was added
|
|---|
| 339 | for GRUB.EXE where GRUB.EXE is treated as a Linux kernel.
|
|---|
| 340 | Fixed a bug which causes installation failure when BOOTLACE.COM is
|
|---|
| 341 | used for large disks.
|
|---|
| 342 |
|
|---|
| 343 | 2005-09-21 version 0.4.1pre27
|
|---|
| 344 | Added a patch to the kexec-tools-1.101. Kexec might fail to load
|
|---|
| 345 | grub.exe without this patch.

|---|
| 366 |
|
|---|
| 367 | 2005-07-20 version 0.4.1pre20

|
|---|
| 386 | <gvr_no_spam_123@ruymbeke.com> <gvr_grub4dos123@ruymbeke.ch>:
|
|---|
| 387 |
|
|---|
| 388 | The map_func improperly opened the emulation image for 3 times, that
|
|---|
| 389 | might slow down the load speed heavily, especially for gzipped files.
|
|---|
| 390 |
|
|---|
| 391 | 2005-04-15 version 0.4.0
|

|
|---|
| 402 |
|
|---|
| 403 | Partition images can emulate a partition (hd?,0) with --mem option.
|
|---|
| 404 |
|
|---|
| 405 | 2005-03-02 version 0.4.0pre3
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 409 | to a different location than 0000:7C00.
|
|---|
| 410 |
|
|---|
| 411 | 2005-02-06 version 0.4.0pre
|

|
|---|
| 437 | Patches from Gandalf: NTFS and ATAPI CDROM support(also thanks to
|
|---|
| 438 | Tobias Svensson <tobiassvensson@home.se>)
|
|---|
| 439 |
|
|---|
| 440 | Patches from Chris Semler <csemler@mail.com>: findroot
|
|---|
| 441 |
|
|---|
| 442 | 2004-04-12 version 0.2.0pre6
|
|---|
| 443 | Now GRUB.EXE can be used in CONFIG.SYS this way:
|
|---|
| 444 |
|
|---|
| 445 | shell=C:\some\where\grub.exe --config-file=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst
|
|---|
| 446 |
|
|---|
| 447 | or
|
|---|
| 448 |
|
|---|
| 449 | shell=C:\some\where\grub.exe
|
|---|
| 450 |
|
|---|
| 451 | No other changes.
|
|---|
| 452 |
|
|---|
| 453 | 2004-04-09 version 0.2.0pre5
|
|---|
| 454 | Now BOOTGRUB contains 4 sectors, i.e., 2048 bytes. Optionally, you may
|
|---|
| 455 | copy the 2nd, 3rd and 4th sectors of BOOTGRUB to the three sectors that
|
|---|
| 456 | immediately follow the MBR. Also Optionally, you may copy 446 bytes
|
|---|
| 457 | from the very beginning of BOOTGRUB to the very beginning of MBR. In
|
|---|
| 458 | this way, the GRLDR can be started out of MBR, without the presence of
|
|---|
| 459 | NTLDR.
|
|---|
| 460 |
|
|---|
| 461 | CAUTION: Don't copy 512 bytes to MBR. The partition table should not
|
|---|
| 462 | be overwritten. The partition table is in the end of MBR. If you make
|
|---|
| 463 | a mistake, you will lose your whole system!!
|
|---|
| 464 |
|
|---|
| 465 | 2004-02-18 version 0.2.0pre4
|
|---|
| 466 | Arbitrary-size floppy and hard disk emulation finally implemented.
|
|---|
| 467 | GRUB for NTLDR is included. See README file.
|
|---|
| 468 | Splash image version is available in the SPLASH directory.
|
|---|
| 469 |
|
|---|
| 470 | 2003-09-23 version 0.1.4 -- development unstable release
|
|---|
| 471 | Unfortunately 0.1.3 has an ugly bug. Fixed.
|
|---|
| 472 |
|
|---|
| 473 | 2003-09-01 version 0.1.3 -- development unstable release
|
|---|
| 474 | Rewrite the code for guessing FreeDOS int vectors. Hopefully it works
|
|---|
| 475 | for all the future versions of FreeDOS :-)
|
|---|
| 476 |
|
|---|
| 477 | 2003-08-25 version 0.1.2 -- development unstable release
|
|---|
| 478 | Fixed a small bug that affects the read of the emulated floppy sectors.
|
|---|
| 479 |
|
|---|
| 480 | Added some files (including the menu.lst file) for installing GRUB to
|
|---|
| 481 | MBR from DOS. Usage:
|
|---|
| 482 |
|
|---|
| 483 | Copy the boot directory to C:\ ; You must do this on Windows, NOT dos,
|
|---|
| 484 | because DOS cannot deal with the long filenames.
|
|---|
| 485 |
|
|---|
| 486 | Run grub to access the menu.lst file in C:\boot\grub ; Of cause on DOS.
|
|---|
| 487 |
|
|---|
| 488 | When menu occurs, select a proper menu item for installing GRUB to MBR.
|
|---|
| 489 |
|
|---|
| 490 | If the menu does not appear, you should get the "grub>" prompt. At the
|
|---|
| 491 | prompt, type the following commands:
|
|---|
| 492 |
|
|---|
| 493 | grub> configfile (hd0,1)/boot/grub/menu.lst
|
|---|
| 494 | grub> configfile (hd0,2)/boot/grub/menu.lst
|
|---|
| 495 | grub> configfile (hd0,3)/boot/grub/menu.lst
|
|---|
| 496 |
|
|---|
| 497 | Then, the menu should occur.
|
|---|
| 498 |
|
|---|
| 499 | 2003-06-29 version 0.1.0.1 -- development unstable release
|
|---|
| 500 | Do some cleanups on 0.1.0, no important changes.
|
|---|
| 501 | BTW, it seems that the 0.1.0 is quite stable :-)
|
|---|
| 502 |
|
|---|
| 503 | 2003-06-29 version 0.0.8
|
|---|
| 504 | Restore mapped int13 to the unmapped state while grub is invoked
|
|---|
| 505 | after a previously performed drive map operation.
|
|---|
| 506 |
|
|---|
| 507 | 2003-05-29 version 0.1.0 -- development unstable release
|
|---|
| 508 | Floppy 1.44M drive emulation are OK. GOOD!!!! Usage:
|
|---|
| 509 |
|
|---|
| 510 | # boot Windows 98 SE
|
|---|
| 511 | map (hd1,0)/dos98se.img (fd0)
|
|---|
| 512 | chainloader (hd1,0)/dos98se.img
|
|---|
| 513 | rootnoverify (fd0)
|
|---|
| 514 | boot
|
|---|
| 515 |
|
|---|
| 516 | Another example:
|
|---|
| 517 |
|
|---|
| 518 | # boot Mandrake hard disk installer
|
|---|
| 519 | map (hd0,0)/hd.img (fd0)
|
|---|
| 520 | chainloader (hd0,0)/hd.img
|
|---|
| 521 | rootnoverify (fd0)
|
|---|
| 522 | boot
|
|---|
| 523 |
|
|---|
| 524 | Note that the floppy image file must size 1440KB, i.e., 1474560 bytes.
|
|---|
| 525 | _AND_ also, the file must consist of one contiguous disk area, no
|
|---|
| 526 | holes, no fragments. Use GRUB's blocklist command to determine whether
|
|---|
| 527 | or not an image file is contiguous. It is known that a 1440KB-file is
|
|---|
| 528 | always non-contiguous if it resides in an ext2 filesystem. But you may
|
|---|
| 529 | get a 1440KB contiguous file with an FAT32 partition(vfat filesystem).
|
|---|
| 530 |
|
|---|
| 531 | Floppy(and hard disk) with arbitrary sizes will be emulated in the
|
|---|
| 532 | future.
|
|---|
| 533 |
|
|---|
| 534 | 2003-05-06 version 0.0.7
|
|---|
| 535 |
|
|---|
| 536 | Fixed a huge bug!! Read the following carefully!
|
|---|
| 537 |
|
|---|
| 538 | Using the drive map command(just as many distributions currently do)
|
|---|
| 539 |
|
|---|
| 540 | map TO_DRIVE FROM_DRIVE
|
|---|
| 541 |
|
|---|
| 542 | to boot your system could seriously _damage_ your hard disk data,
|
|---|
| 543 |
|
|---|
| 544 | totally and thoroughly!! This bug has just been fixed in 0.0.7 :-)
|
|---|
| 545 |
|
|---|
| 546 | This bug is not specific to grub_for_dos, but caused by the original
|
|---|
| 547 |
|
|---|
| 548 | grub-0.93 release. So do _NOT_ use map command any more until my fix is
|
|---|
| 549 |
|
|---|
| 550 | accepted by GRUB maintainers or a similar fix is made by other
|
|---|
| 551 |

| 552 | people. For now, do _NOT_ use map command in any kind of Linux
|
|---|
| 553 |
|
|---|
| 554 | distributions such as Red Hat or Mandrake or any others.
|
|---|
| 555 |
|
|---|
| 556 | Because GRUB_FOR_DOS-0.0.7 already applied the fix, so it
|
|---|
| 557 |
|
|---|
| 558 | should be safe to use the map command.
|
|---|
| 559 |
|
|---|
| 560 | Another small bug was also fixed in grub_for_dos-0.0.7 :-)
|

| 562 | 2003-04-29 version 0.0.6

|

| 564 |
|
|---|
| 565 | 2003-04-26 version 0.0.5
|
|---|
| 566 | Runs on MS-DOS 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 6.20, 6.21, 6.22, 7.0, 7.10, 8.0 and
|
|---|
| 567 | FreeDOS(build 2029). GOOD!!
|

| 568 |
|
|---|
| 569 | 2003-04-20 version 0.0.4
|
|---|
| 570 | Running on FreeDOS(build 2029), GOOD!! (But currently GRUB.EXE only
|
|---|
| 571 | has limited FreeDOS support, maybe unstable.)
|
|---|
| 572 |
|
|---|
| 573 | Add a "Guess DOS Version" feature. The program now exit to DOS when
|
|---|
| 574 | guess failed. The previous versions of GRUB.EXE always hang when
|
|---|
| 575 | running on an unsupported DOS version.
|

|
|---|
| 577 | 2003-04-13 version 0.0.3

|
|---|
| 581 | Also runs on MS-DOS 8.0 (i.e., the DOS with WinMe/2000/XP), GOOD!!
|
|---|
| 582 | The GRUB.PIF file included, so GRUB.EXE can be started from Windows 9x
|
