Bug#550658: grub-install: support pxe booting

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: wishlist

grub2 seems to have decent support for pxe booting, although many of the tools
(grub-install, grub-mkconfig) contain a fair amount of code probing for disks
and devices and such, which fails if attempting to configure a pxe boot
environment. something like the following command would be nice:

  grub-install '(pxe)'

it would hopefully copy appropriate files into /boot/grub, populate
/boot/grub/grub.cfg with relevent entries, and create a pxe bootable grub image
using grub-mkimage, like so:

  grub-mkimage --output=core.img --prefix="(pxe)/boot/grub" pxe pxecmd
  cat pxeboot.img core.img > grub2pxe

thanks!

live well,
  vagrant
