This (development list of grub2) is not. Something close to grub dev that I am surprised doesn't exist yet, mainly to assist in grub(2) dev: some way to display what is installed on a HD. Are there some signatures or such that can be looked for? maybe in the new version of grub, the parameters could be stored somewhere for later retrieval, just for debugging both grub-dev and grub usage. Human readable would be great, assuming there is room. Carl K
