I'd like to rename the PPC executable from grubof to grub. If

grub.cfg?. Thoughts?
What I would prefer is _grub or so. To make clear it is not usable
just like this. We don't want people loading this file directly.
Adding a _ might make it clear this is a file that is weird in a way
and users should not use it directly. The name `grubof' is not *that*
bad either. People do not use it directly, right?
For any arch the config file should be called grub.cfg, IMO.
Oh, I misunderstood hollis, if that's true. I thought grubof will later
be the 'call it with a configuration, wait some seconds, and grub is
installed'-tool.
Btw, what will the way you advise,
a) like yaboot, mount the bootstrap partiton only when writing config
b) or mount it as /boot, modifiy grub.cfg on it?
I would like the later option, because as far as I understood, making
changes to grub.cfg does not need any command execution, as grub
(the binary, which can be loaded by of) didn't change.
Or is this assumption wrong?
