Sorry to bother you people, and you have every right
in the world to just send me to the CVS to get the changelog
and read it. But I thought it would be simpler for me
just to ask.(Please RTFM me with a pointer to a resource
if you feel these questions are not appropriate for this list)

1) Does GRUB currently support booting from any kind CD-ROM?
   ISO? Joliet? Is there a plan to implement that if no?
   If yes, than how is the boot disc reported to the kernel?
   (AFAIK BIOS has no numbering for CDROMS like 0x80,0x81)
2) Does it provide a valid memory map for the multiboot kernel?
   (as specified in the multiboot specifications) If yes, what
   are the restrictions on that. If no, then is there a plan to
   implement that.
3) How is the unusual boot media handled from the multiboot point
   of view? Are SCSI and IOMEGA drives supported? If yes, then how
   is it reported to the kernel? (BIOS Drive number doesn't exist)
4) Is HPFS supported? Is there plans on NTFS support??? 

Thank you very much.
