So, I've agree with you, but I have some restrictions with this,
it's a really high priority task ?
Anyway, I'm don't care about bootloader at this moment, if somebody wants to write this, so okay, but I think that this things hasn't a high priority now,
yep, somebody, called in0dster, wants to do it. so, i think that if he wont, he should to do it.
it won't make any evil to our project =), so why not?
+ grub is multiboot bootloader, so data structures, that i can give from it, very commonly describe physical machine, on wich i loads jari. and i, for example, can't get any useful information about video devices.
keep in mind, it was only one least significant example of multiboot minuses.
