Theoretically, of course.

They are easy to implement, but I postponed it, because I was planning to rewrite the menu code significantly. But I still don't get much time to perform this, and I have no idea on when I will be able to. Besides that, it is really necessary to check what workarounds for buggy BIOSes are missing in GRUB 2. The current bootstrap code on PC is based on somewhere around GRUB 0.96, so it is a bit outdated. Okuji
