boot scripts

[James Morrison]

 G'day

 I know grub doesn't support scripts yet, but scripts probably would
be useful for booting the Hurd.  Anyway, I'm wondering what the
syntax of the grub scripts would be.

 I was thinking a couple scripting commands, eg

script /boot/grub-boot

 script would read the file specified and use each line in the file
as a command.

modulescript /boot/servers.boot

 modulescript would read the file using each line as a module line
for grub.  Having modulescript would allow a sysadmin to use the
same boot script for sub-hurds as well as the main hurd.

For any script # would denote comments.

Does this make sense?
