My version has all the features you mention here (except that it sets up
a network before reading the preset menu).

If my understanding is correct, what you suggested in the previous
mail was such a way as "Please call bootp or something yourself, when
you use the preset menu", right?

In the grub shell, SUPPORT_DISKLESS is never defined, so I don't think
any special treatment for the grub shell is necessary.
