It there any support for grub via a serial console.
I have a development system that lilo completely barfs on (fiber channel
drives connected)
I need to select a backup kernel in cases of the default one not
working.

Either way, LOADLIN too should simply load to end of file.

Addendum:
With my original BIOS settings, the geometry (hd2) command gives:
C/H/S = 1023/16/63 Number of sectors 1031184
And I have switched back to the LBA mode in the BIOS. It

255 heads
63 sectors
This is only 8gig but it works fine.

I am just coming into the conversation here, but I wanted to ask
about a change in the behavior of GRUB between 0.5.93.1 and
0.5.95 (on a Debian Linux system).
I have a 13gig drive (hd2) which I have always setup in BIOS
without lba. I was just careful to keep a boot partition within
the first 1
