Known problems/bugs: - The dumb terminal doesn't work properly. It doesn't work well with a long command-line, and when a non-empty command-line string is set, it doesn't work with Emacs expectedly. - The auto-filling mechanism doesn't work correctly with the serial terminal. - In the netboot code, tlan and fa311 are not used, even though they are distributed. That's because the entry for tlan is commented out in the file "NIC" of Etherboot, and fa311 isn't used actually in Etherboot. Probably they will be fixed in next version of Etherboot. - The command "geometry" doesn't work with a floppy very well. This bug was incorporated after the rewrite of the partition scanning code by okuji. - GRUB cannot boot newer versions of NetBSD or OpenBSD directly. - The command "map" seems not to work in some environments. - GRUB cannot boot any uncommon format of floppies, such as 1.68MB. Perhaps we should add support to embed a fixed geometry in a drive. - GRUB cannot boot FreeBSD 3.4 and 4.0 directly. So you must chain-load them instead. - FreeBSD boot command-line options are slightly problematic, and OpenBSD options are probably quite wrong. This is because they use options that are bits in a data word passed at boot time, and the developers change the encoding sometimes. Will re-sync in a later release. - If an "uppermem" command was used to tell GRUB it had a different amount of upper memory available, then the user escapes to the menu interface, the upper memory displayed there still says the amount set by the user instead of being reset to the default by the escape. It actually resets when the next command-line is entered or config file entry is executed. - There is at least one problem when using an "install_partition" that is a BSD sub-partition where the PC partition isn't explicit (i.e. the default 0xFF00FF is a problem)... this is when using "makeactive" without explicitly setting the root partition. If this is done, a "no such partition" error will be generated. - Cannot boot FreeBSD "kzip"ed image. Use a normal kernel (using GRUB's automatic "gzip" decompression works fine). - Hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete when in GRUB locks some machines. Use Reset for now. (This apparently hasn't been observed for a while)
