Hello everyone,
I'd like to propose a backup-mechanism for GRUB2.
On installation the old MBR could easily be stored in the partition hosting
the stage2.
That would allow for a clean self-destruction of GRUB2 as it could simply
overwrite its own MBR-data if required.
I guess many people install grub to play a little with linux/fbsd/etc and
afterwards have a messed-up MBR and they want their Windows back. Such a
feature would prevent a lot of support-requests I believe.
Cheers
Jan
