Release Notes: GRLDR (as a no-emulation-mode bootable CDROM image) was adapted to cope with some buggy BIOSes (e.g. VirtualPC).

Beverly Brown's patch to load_initrd was applied. Two new options were added to the map command to better serve Win9x. The default config file search path for GRUB.EXE was changed.

Release Notes: A new 'setvbe' command was added. Support for the obsolete EZ-BIOS (with signature 'AERMH') was dropped. A bug in parsing Rock-Ridge extensions was foxed. No-emulation-mode bootable CDs can now be chainloaded. Some work was done to improve remote/diskless boot. A USB/floppy EBIOS problem in get_diskinfo was fixed.

Release Notes: The ATAPI CDROM driver from Smart Boot Manager was imported. The previous implementation of SCDROM/BIOSCDROM was dropped. A USB/Floppy EBIOS problem that could cause media-access failure or even hang the machine when using USB storage devices was fixed. A bug in BOOTLACE.COM that had improperly set the LBA-indicator byte (which is at offset 0x02 of the boot sector) was fixed. A bug was fixed in GRLDR that causes failure in finding the associated MENU.LST config-file (which should be in the same directory as GRLDR).
