Project Description

GRUB for DOS is a rebuild of the GNU GRUB boot manager for DOS, and can be run under real mode DOS. It also has many new features. It can be booted through BOOT.INI of Windows (grldr) and kexec of Linux (grub.exe). It can directly boot NTLDR (WindowsNT/2K/XP), IO.SYS (Windows9x/Me) and KERNEL.SYS (FreeDOS). The disk emulation feature is another enhancement over GNU GRUB, and can be used to run legacy DOS/Windows9x systems with floppy or hard disk images.

0.4.2

GRLDR (as a no-emulation-mode bootable CDROM
image) was adapted to cope with some buggy BIOSes
(e.g. VirtualPC). LBA-to-CHS geometry translation
was added in int13_handler to simulate LBA (EBIOS)
on CHS-only drives. A new feature of unconditional
command-line entrance was added. Beverly Brown's
patch to load_initrd was applied. Two new options
were added to the map command to better serve
Win9x. The default config file search path for
GRUB.EXE was changed. Many bugs were fixed.
