Hello,
a really good point. The order is an important point.
To solve all those combinations I see some ways,
but I cannot say, which is the best.

done by GRUB itself):
- setup for serial is possible before
- loading keymap is
Hello !
I have tried out the current CVS version on my embedded
machine. It is a PC/104 computer (AMD 5x86, 133MH, 36MB
RAM, Crystal CS8900 ethernet chip). The machine is head-
less (no VGA or keyboard) and the ttyS0 (COM1) is used
as serial console.

Hello again !
Ok, if you want to stay on the old manner, then have a look
again to my patch. We use this version here in the company
and I use it private and it works very well.

If the normal menu file is present, all menu relevant
stuff is overwritten, so we have your initial behaviour,

I have not seen the current implementation of you,
as I did not make a CVS CHECKOUT for a month or so.
The reason why I did the patch was: The preset menu
must be executed before the the network setup is
done. It is really important for me (and for many embedded
users), that the preset menu is

Sorry, I did a msitake and mixed up my two patches.
This patch should simple build the stage2-diskless
file also, to boot locally the diskless version of

Hello Mr. Okuji,
I sent the patch only to bug-grub not to you.
Read below mre details.
In simple words: The preset menu is executed first in any way,
and is replaced (concerning menu entries) and overridden
concerning settings) when a main config file (local or via net)
is present. The
