Probably. I'm not decided yet, because if there will be some conversion
tool in grub itself, (for 8-bit encoding filesystems) it should be used

No. It was just an idea.

I fixed all that you commented in previous mail but the disk detection
(mounting). The disk detection is in fakedisk.h and can be easily
changed.
