Package: grub-pc
Severity: wishlist
Grub 1 has a "map" command, which remaps BIOS drive numbers by hooking
int 13. This allows booting of OSes which have to find themselves on
the first BIOS drive, such as DOS and Windows.
Grub 2 does not have this command. Thus, if I want to build a utility
USB key which can boot to various OSes, I have to use grub 1, not grub
2.
