It's not true. The "exit" command in the rescue mode would exit as well. I believe it's the case where the code should be fixed, not the documentation. We need to have the "exit" command in normal mode (it already exists in the rescue mode) in grub-emu and on architectures where it's possible to exit from the bootloader and return control back to the firmware. I also think that the "reboot" command in grub-emu should restart grub-emu. That would be a better emulation of the "reboot" command than exiting. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
