| 254 | Fixed a bug in GRLDR that caused failure in finding the associated |
|---|
| 255 | MENU.LST config-file(which should be in the same directory as GRLDR). |
|---|
| 256 | |
|---|
| 257 | 2006-06-18 version 0.4.2pre6 |
|---|
| 258 | |
|---|
| 259 | Dropped the obsolete EZD disk map support. |
|---|
| 260 | Fixed several bugs that may hang or slow the qemu virtual machine. |
|---|
| 261 | Fixed a bug that causes the pause command not to respond any key-press. |
|---|
| 262 | Fixed a bug that causes a command to accidentally fail if in a menu. |
|---|
| 263 | Fixed a bug that causes the menu not to work once a cdrom had booted. |
|---|
| 264 | |
|---|
| 265 | 2006-06-05 version 0.4.2pre5 |
|---|
| 266 | |
|---|
| 267 | Added a static-linked binary executable file GRUB(a Linux utility). |
|---|
| 268 | |
|---|
| 269 | Fixed a gateA20 problem related to memdrive emulation. |
|---|
| 270 | |
|---|
| 271 | Boot GRUB.EXE directly off Windows9x/Me(experimental; might hang). |
|---|
| 272 | |
|---|
| 273 | 2006-04-03 version 0.4.2pre4 |
|---|
| 274 | |
|---|
| 275 | Made GRUB.EXE run under EMM386. |
|---|
| 276 | Fixed a bug in splashimage_func(). |
|---|
| 277 | Made `ignore error' constant and removed the `--ignore-error' option, |
|---|
| 278 | and renamed the option `--seconds=T' to `--wait=T' for savedefault. |
|---|
| 279 | The sample menu.lst was modified accordingly. |
|---|
| 280 | |
|---|
| 281 | 2006-03-28 version 0.4.2pre3 |
|---|
| 282 | |
|---|
| 283 | New syntax for the `default' and `savedefault' commands was |
|---|
| 284 | implemented. |
|---|
| 285 | |
|---|
| 286 | Changed `int' to `unsigned long' for filemax, filepos and fsmax, and |
|---|
| 287 | modified all fsys_*.c files in order to open large files(2GB or |
|---|
| 288 | longer). |
|---|
| 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 | |
|---|
| 297 | Added DOS command-line options --bypass, --time-out=T and --hot-key=K |
|---|
| 298 | for GRUB.EXE. |
|---|
| 299 | |
|---|
| 300 | 2006-02-24 version 0.4.2pre1 |
|---|
| 301 | gcc-4 support by VirusCamp. |
|---|
| 302 | |
|---|
| 303 | Limited support for returning to DOS from GRUB.EXE. |
|---|
| 304 | |
|---|
| 305 | Implemented a new feature that GRUB.EXE can be used as a DOS device |
|---|
| 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 |
|---|
| 316 | partitions to harddrives(in builtins.c). Fixed a bug that causes |
|---|
| 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. |
|---|
| 319 | |
|---|
| 320 | 2005-11-14 version 0.4.1pre32 |
|---|

| 325 | |
|---|
| 326 | 2005-10-23 version 0.4.1pre30 |
|---|
| 327 | A bug about "bootlace.com --floppy" was fixed. |
|---|
| 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. |
|---|
| 346 | |
|---|
| 347 | 2005-09-14 version 0.4.1pre26 |
|---|
| 348 | Fixed a bug for the DOS part of BOOTLACE.COM |
|---|
| 349 | |
|---|
| 350 | 2005-09-11 version 0.4.1pre25 |
|---|
| 351 | GRUB4LIN has merged into GRUB.EXE; A new command-line option |
|---|
| 352 | --read-only was added for BOOTLACE.COM; A few bug fixes. |
|---|
| 353 | |
|---|
| 354 | 2005-09-01 version 0.4.1pre24 |
|---|
| 355 | BOOTLACE.COM runs under both DOS and Linux. |
|---|
| 356 | |

|---|
| 364 | Added Windows NT 4.0 support(actually fixed a bug reported by Stefan |
|---|
| 365 | Baur). For other new features, see README.txt. |
|---|
| 366 | |
|---|
| 367 | 2005-07-20 version 0.4.1pre20 |
|---|
| 368 | Added ext2/ext3 boot record code for loading grldr from the beginning |
|---|
| 369 | sector of a floppy or a partition. |
|---|
| 370 | |
|---|
| 371 | 2005-05-25 version 0.4.1pre5 |
|---|
| 372 | GRUB commands can be embedded into the command line of GRUB.EXE |
|---|
| 373 | |
|---|
| 374 | 2005-05-20 version 0.4.1pre4 |
|---|
| 375 | Bug fixes: When the system has no floppies, some operations, |
|---|
| 376 | e.g., the find command, will hang the machine. |
|---|
| 377 | |
|---|
| 378 | 2005-05-17 version 0.4.1pre3 |
|---|
| 379 | Search for cdrom_drive from drive 0x88 to drive 0xff |
|---|
| 380 | |
|---|
| 381 | 2005-05-11 version 0.4.1pre2 |
|---|
| 382 | Our base is now upgraded to GNU GRUB 0.97. |
|---|
| 383 | |
|---|
| 384 | 2005-04-25 version 0.4.1pre |
|---|
| 385 | Fixed a bug reported by Gilles van Ruymbeke |
|---|
| 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 |
|---|
| 392 | Add /boot/grub/menu.lst in preset menu. This is final. |
|---|
| 393 | |
|---|
| 394 | 2005-04-07 version 0.4.0pre7 |
|---|
| 395 | config_file takes precedence over preset_menu. |
|---|
| 396 | |
|---|
| 397 | 2005-04-06 version 0.4.0pre6 |
|---|
| 398 | GRLDR can be used with no-emulation-mode bootable CD-ROM. |
|---|
| 399 | |
|---|
| 400 | 2005-03-09 version 0.4.0pre4 |
|---|
| 401 | Now preset menu find /menu.lst, no longer support /boot/grub/menu.lst |
|---|
| 402 | |
|---|
| 403 | Partition images can emulate a partition (hd?,0) with --mem option. |
|---|
| 404 | |
|---|
| 405 | 2005-03-02 version 0.4.0pre3 |
|---|
| 406 | GRLDR startup code search all partitions in all harddrives for GRLDR. |
|---|
| 407 | |
|---|
| 408 | chainloader can boot images larger than 512 bytes, and can load image |
|---|
| 409 | to a different location than 0000:7C00. |
|---|
| 410 | |
|---|
| 411 | 2005-02-06 version 0.4.0pre |
|---|
| 412 | Switched to GNU GRUB 0.96 |
|---|
| 413 | The --mem option of MAP command was added for memdrive emulation. |
|---|
| 414 | |
|---|
| 415 | Also announced 0.2.0 final. |
|---|
| 416 | |
|---|
| 417 | 2004-10-23 version 0.2.0pre13 |
|---|
| 418 | GRUB.EXE runs in DOSBOX. |
|---|
| 419 | GRUB4LIN is introduced to boot off LINUX. |
|---|
| 420 | Fixed a bug reported by windrv: NTFS check contiguity failure |
|---|
| 421 | Rearranged the patches. |
|---|
| 422 | |
|---|
| 423 | 2004-08-31 version 0.2.0pre12 |
|---|
| 424 | Fixed a bug reported by szwp: cannot load GRLDR on partition that is |
|---|
| 425 | not CHS-accessible. |
|---|
| 426 | |
|---|
| 427 | Fixed a bug reported by windrv: take too much time to check contiguity |
|---|
| 428 | |
|---|
| 429 | 2004-08-15 version 0.2.0pre11 |
|---|
| 430 | Mark the scdrom module as experimental. |
|---|
| 431 | |
|---|
| 432 | 2004-07-13 version 0.2.0pre9 |
|---|
| 433 | Merged GNU GRUB 0.95 |
|---|
| 434 | |
|---|
| 435 | BOOTGRUB removed. Use BOOT.INI line C:\GRLDR="Start GRUB" instead. |
|---|
| 436 | |
|---|
| 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 :-) |
|---|
| 561 | |
|---|
| 562 | 2003-04-29 version 0.0.6 |
|---|
| 563 | Runs also on MS-DOS 3.30. No other changes. |
|---|
| 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. |
|---|
| 576 | |
|---|
| 577 | 2003-04-13 version 0.0.3 |
|---|
| 578 | The option "--config-file=FILE" was added. |
|---|
| 579 | |
|---|
| 580 | 2003-04-11 version 0.0.2 |
|---|
| 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 |
|---|
| 583 | |
|---|
| 584 | 2003-04-10 version 0.0.1 |
|---|
| 585 | Runs on MS-DOS 7.10(Win98) |
|---|
