The weakness of grub is that it tries to do both. +With the xosl approach, if sector 0 is overwritten, it is super-simple +to recreate it without loosing anything. +It would be nice to see grub split into separate system selection and +(Linux) system boot packages. With a separate partition for the system +selection part, like xosl. +If the Linux boot partition (containing /boot) is corrupted, the +computer becomes unbootable from the hard disk, if grub does the +selection of the system to boot. And that can only be fixed by +repairing the Linux boot partition, which is a lot more problematic than +simply restoring sector 0 of the first disk. + +><i> ...
