|
|---|
| 505 | <gvr_no_spam_123@ruymbeke.com> <gvr_grub4dos123@ruymbeke.ch>:
|
|---|
| 506 |
|
|---|
| 507 | The map_func improperly opened the emulation image for 3 times, that
|
|---|
| 508 | might slow down the load speed heavily, especially for gzipped files.
|

|
|---|
| 547 |
|
|---|

|---|
| 554 | BOOTGRUB removed. Use BOOT.INI line C:\GRLDR="Start GRUB" instead.
|
|---|
| 555 |
|
|---|
| 556 | Patches from Gandalf: NTFS and ATAPI CDROM support(also thanks to
|
|---|
| 557 | Tobias Svensson <tobiassvensson@home.se>)
|
|---|
| 558 |
|
|---|
| 559 | Patches from Chris Semler <csemler@mail.com>: findroot
|
|---|
| 560 |
|
|---|
| 561 | 2004-04-12 version 0.2.0pre6
|
|---|
| 562 | Now GRUB.EXE can be used in CONFIG.SYS this way:
|
|---|
| 563 |
|
|---|
| 564 | shell=C:\some\where\grub.exe --config-file=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst
|
|---|
| 565 |
|
|---|
| 566 | or
|
|---|
| 567 |
|
|---|
| 568 | shell=C:\some\where\grub.exe
|
|---|
| 569 |
|
|---|
| 570 | No other changes.
|
|---|
| 571 |
|
|---|
| 572 | 2004-04-09 version 0.2.0pre5
|
|---|
| 573 | Now BOOTGRUB contains 4 sectors, i.e., 2048 bytes. Optionally, you may
|
|---|
| 574 | copy the 2nd, 3rd and 4th sectors of BOOTGRUB to the three sectors that
|
|---|
| 575 | immediately follow the MBR. Also Optionally, you may copy 446 bytes
|
|---|
| 576 | from the very beginning of BOOTGRUB to the very beginning of MBR. In
|
|---|
| 577 | this way, the GRLDR can be started out of MBR, without the presence of
|
|---|
| 578 | NTLDR.
|
|---|
| 579 |
|
|---|
| 580 | CAUTION: Don't copy 512 bytes to MBR. The partition table should not
|
|---|
| 581 | be overwritten. The partition table is in the end of MBR. If you make
|
|---|
| 582 | a mistake, you will lose your whole system!!
|
|---|
| 583 |
|
|---|
| 584 | 2004-02-18 version 0.2.0pre4
|
|---|
| 585 | Arbitrary-size floppy and hard disk emulation finally implemented.
|
|---|
| 586 | GRUB for NTLDR is included. See README file.
|
|---|
| 587 | Splash image version is available in the SPLASH directory.
|
|---|
| 588 |
|
|---|
| 589 | 2003-09-23 version 0.1.4 -- development unstable release
|
|---|
| 590 | Unfortunately 0.1.3 has an ugly bug. Fixed.
|
|---|
| 591 |
|
|---|
| 592 | 2003-09-01 version 0.1.3 -- development unstable release
|
|---|
| 593 | Rewrite the code for guessing FreeDOS int vectors. Hopefully it works
|
|---|
| 594 | for all the future versions of FreeDOS :-)
|
|---|
| 595 |
|
|---|
| 596 | 2003-08-25 version 0.1.2 -- development unstable release
|
|---|
| 597 | Fixed a small bug that affects the read of the emulated floppy sectors.
|
|---|
| 598 |
|
|---|
| 599 | Added some files (including the menu.lst file) for installing GRUB to
|
|---|
| 600 | MBR from DOS. Usage:
|
|---|
| 601 |
|
|---|
| 602 | Copy the boot directory to C:\ ; You must do this on Windows, NOT dos,
|
|---|
| 603 | because DOS cannot deal with the long filenames.
|
|---|
| 604 |
|
|---|
| 605 | Run grub to access the menu.lst file in C:\boot\grub ; Of cause on DOS.
|
|---|
| 606 |
|
|---|
| 607 | When menu occurs, select a proper menu item for installing GRUB to MBR.
|
|---|
| 608 |
|
|---|
| 609 | If the menu does not appear, you should get the "grub>" prompt. At the
|
|---|
| 610 | prompt, type the following commands:
|
|---|
| 611 |
|
|---|
| 612 | grub> configfile (hd0,1)/boot/grub/menu.lst
|
|---|
| 613 | grub> configfile (hd0,2)/boot/grub/menu.lst
|
|---|
| 614 | grub> configfile (hd0,3)/boot/grub/menu.lst
|
|---|
| 615 |
|
|---|
| 616 | Then, the menu should occur.
|
|---|
| 617 |
|
|---|
| 618 | 2003-06-29 version 0.1.0.1 -- development unstable release
|
|---|
| 619 | Do some cleanups on 0.1.0, no important changes.
|
|---|
| 620 | BTW, it seems that the 0.1.0 is quite stable :-)
|
|---|
| 621 |
|
|---|
| 622 | 2003-06-29 version 0.0.8
|
|---|
| 623 | Restore mapped int13 to the unmapped state while grub is invoked
|
|---|
| 624 | after a previously performed drive map operation.
|
|---|
| 625 |
|
|---|
| 626 | 2003-05-29 version 0.1.0 -- development unstable release
|
|---|
| 627 | Floppy 1.44M drive emulation are OK. GOOD!!!! Usage:
|
|---|
| 628 |
|
|---|
| 629 | # boot Windows 98 SE
|
|---|
| 630 | map (hd1,0)/dos98se.img (fd0)
|
|---|
| 631 | chainloader (hd1,0)/dos98se.img
|
|---|
| 632 | rootnoverify (fd0)
|
|---|
| 633 | boot
|
|---|
| 634 |
|
|---|
| 635 | Another example:
|
|---|
| 636 |
|
|---|
| 637 | # boot Mandrake hard disk installer
|
|---|
| 638 | map (hd0,0)/hd.img (fd0)
|
|---|
| 639 | chainloader (hd0,0)/hd.img
|
|---|
| 640 | rootnoverify (fd0)
|
|---|
| 641 | boot
|
|---|
| 642 |
|
|---|
| 643 | Note that the floppy image file must size 1440KB, i.e., 1474560 bytes.
|
|---|
| 644 | _AND_ also, the file must consist of one contiguous disk area, no
|
|---|
| 645 | holes, no fragments. Use GRUB's blocklist command to determine whether
|
|---|
| 646 | or not an image file is contiguous. It is known that a 1440KB-file is
|
|---|
| 647 | always non-contiguous if it resides in an ext2 filesystem. But you may
|
|---|
| 648 | get a 1440KB contiguous file with an FAT32 partition(vfat filesystem).
|
|---|
| 649 |
|
|---|
| 650 | Floppy(and hard disk) with arbitrary sizes will be emulated in the
|
|---|
| 651 | future.
|
|---|
| 652 |
|
|---|
| 653 | 2003-05-06 version 0.0.7
|
|---|
| 654 |
|
|---|
| 655 | Fixed a huge bug!! Read the following carefully!
|
|---|
| 656 |
|
|---|
| 657 | Using the drive map command(just as many distributions currently do)
|
|---|
| 658 |
|
|---|
| 659 | map TO_DRIVE FROM_DRIVE
|
|---|
| 660 |
|
|---|
| 661 | to boot your system could seriously _damage_ your hard disk data,
|
|---|
| 662 |
|
|---|
| 663 | totally and thoroughly!! This bug has just been fixed in 0.0.7 :-)
|
|---|
| 664 |
|
|---|
| 665 | This bug is not specific to grub_for_dos, but caused by the original
|
|---|
| 666 |
|
|---|
| 667 | grub-0.93 release. So do _NOT_ use map command any more until my fix is
|
|---|
| 668 |
|
|---|
| 669 | accepted by GRUB maintainers or a similar fix is made by other
|
|---|
| 670 |
|
|---|
| 671 | people. For now, do _NOT_ use map command in any kind of Linux
|
|---|
| 672 |
|
|---|
| 673 | distributions such as Red Hat or Mandrake or any others.
|
|---|
| 674 |
|
|---|
| 675 | Because GRUB_FOR_DOS-0.0.7 already applied the fix, so it
|
|---|
| 676 |
|
|---|
| 677 | should be safe to use the map command.
|
|---|
| 678 |
|
|---|
| 679 | Another small bug was also fixed in grub_for_dos-0.0.7 :-)
|
|---|
| 680 |
|
|---|
| 681 | 2003-04-29 version 0.0.6
|
|---|
| 682 | Runs also on MS-DOS 3.30. No other changes.
|
|---|
| 683 |
|
|---|
| 684 | 2003-04-26 version 0.0.5
|
|---|
| 685 | Runs on MS-DOS 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 6.20, 6.21, 6.22, 7.0, 7.10, 8.0 and
|
|---|
| 686 | FreeDOS(build 2029). GOOD!!
|
|---|
| 687 |
|
|---|
| 688 | 2003-04-20 version 0.0.4
|
|---|
| 689 | Running on FreeDOS(build 2029), GOOD!! (But currently GRUB.EXE only
|
|---|
| 690 | has limited FreeDOS support, maybe unstable.)
|
|---|
| 691 |
|
|---|
| 692 | Add a "Guess DOS Version" feature. The program now exit to DOS when
|
|---|
| 693 | guess failed. The previous versions of GRUB.EXE always hang when
|
|---|
| 694 | running on an unsupported DOS version.
|
|---|
| 695 |
|
|---|
| 696 | 2003-04-13 version 0.0.3
|
|---|
| 697 | The option "--config-file=FILE" was added.
|
|---|
| 698 |
|
|---|
| 699 | 2003-04-11 version 0.0.2
|
|---|
| 700 | Also runs on MS-DOS 8.0 (i.e., the DOS with WinMe/2000/XP), GOOD!!
|
|---|
| 701 | The GRUB.PIF file included, so GRUB.EXE can be started from Windows 9x
|
|---|
| 702 |
|
|---|
| 703 | 2003-04-10 version 0.0.1
|
|---|
| 704 | Runs on MS-DOS 7.10(Win98)
|
|---|
