GRUB's failed potential

 Multiboot spec is crap in the fact that you could not boot an OS on a PC without a minimum
information from the BIOS, and you have none at all with that way to boot. It is not even
simple to return to real mode from a multiboot kernel because the loading of the operating
system may have overwritten important memory.
 I myself use Gujin to load kernels for the last few years, but I am biased
(http://gujin.org).
 I still like its behaviour (i.e. autoconfiguration) when using multiple distributions (kernel
up/downgrades) and removeable hardware (changing hard disks, USB keys containing complete
distributions, boot from DVDs or images of DVD in a partitions, boot from DOS)...
 The main problem of Grub is which grub.conf will be used if you have 4 distributions, each of
them using Grub, and have booted from a USB key.
