Hello !
No at the moment Klaus and I keep the command line interface (this
was the status of Thursday). In `emacs' it does not look very good
at the moment (especially the amount of `^H' to blank the line, but
in "emergency" cases, `emacs' can be used. You can send amount of
`^H' or better a `^A^

fixed one annoying situation, where the clear screen behavior
during boot depends on the number of characters in ESC sequences sent
before.
NOTE: This is not a functional but esthetic problem, but testers or
test drivers are esthetes most of the time ;-).

Is it possible to change the behaviour of Grub when using serial terminal?
Right now, Grub stops and waits for a keypress. I think, it should wait
for a while and then continue with a default (for example, if I specifiy
'terminal serial console', the default should be the first -or the last-).

Hi all
I just stumbled over the grub mailing list archive and noticed that there was
some talk about supporting the serial line for controlling grub. This would be
great !
The last message I read on this topic mentioned that there should be some way to
detect if a video adapter is available

Thanx for considering it. ;-)
There has to be some way, the Linux kernel determines somehow if vitual
consoles exist. Now, is there an easy way... ;-)

The command line interface looks good.

GRUB shouldn't use serial cons
don't think that flexibility will be a highly demanded
issue for configurations with serial line support.
Serial consoles are normally used by experienced professionals either for
physically secured servers or for embedded devices. Flexibility is not
something that people will ask for, especial
pported. I used the standard Linux
console setup and use a front-end-terminal (a 20-liner, setting
console to raw mode and sleeping on select, waiting for a character over
the serial line or a character from the console to send to each other).
Also in 'minicom' my 'hack' does in

Hi GRUB-HACKERS !
As I need the GRUB over serial line @home, I hacked it in.
As the first try, I used the bios functionality (int 0x14).
The stuff runs !
Inclusive menu controlling, command line editing with cursor
keys etc.
The menu is of course not very quick, as it has to draw very much
