Add support for having a grub directory in a different drive. This
    is still only the data handling part.

    * kern/i386/pc/startup.S (multiboot_trampoline): Set %dh to 0xFF.
    (codestart): Save %dh in GRUB_ROOT_DRIVE.
    (grub_root_drive): New variable.

    * kern/i386/pc/init.c (make_install_device): Use GRUB_ROOT_DRIVE
    instead of GRUB_BOOT_DRIVE to construct a device name. Set
    GRUB_ROOT_DRIVE to GRUB_BOOT_DRIVE if it is 0xFF, otherwise use it
    as it was.

    * include/grub/i386/pc/kernel.h (grub_root_drive): New prototype.

    * include/grub/i386/pc/boot.h (GRUB_BOOT_MACHINE_ROOT_DRIVE): New
    macro.
    (GRUB_BOOT_MACHINE_DRIVE_CHECK): Set to 0x4f.

    * boot/i386/pc/pxeboot.S (_start): Set %dh to 0xFF. For now, this
    is bogus, because PXE booting does not specify any drive
    correctly.

    * boot/i386/pc/lnxboot.S (reg_edx): Set the second byte to 0xFF. I
    am not sure if this is really correct.

    * boot/i386/pc/cdboot.S: Set %dh to 0xFF, because the root drive
    is always identical to the boot drive when booting from a CD.

    * boot/i386/pc/boot.S (MOV_MEM_TO_AL): Removed. Not needed any
    longer.
    (root_drive): New variable.
    (real_start): Unconditionally set %dh to ROOT_DRIVE.
    (setup_sectors): Push %dx right after popping it, because %dh will
    be modified later.
    (copy_buffer): Restore %dx.

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader.
GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more
robust, more powerful, and more portable.

See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
GRUB 2 data and program files.

Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information.
The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>.

For now, there is not much documentation yet. Please look at the GRUB
Wiki <http://grub.enbug.org> for testing procedures.
