grub is bad, ugly, GNUish and it's a dead project since a while "GRUB Legacy is no longer being developed. For the differences between GRUB Legacy and GRUB 2, please visit their respective pages." and there doesn't seem to be any progress in the grub 2 development... besides all the uglyness, i do like the flexibility and the network-booting capability of grub. i didn't find any similar replacement so i still use it in some scenarios. btw.: there are some patches for using grub with OpenBSD http://www.berger.to/openbsd/pxegrub.html. nevertheless, use the openbsd (pxe) bootloader or grub chainloading ;) reyk
