           Summary: GRUB FREELDR using floppy FREELDR.INI
           Product: ReactOS
           Version: TRUNK
          Platform: x86 Hardware
        OS/Version: ReactOS
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: Kernel
        AssignedTo: ros-bugs at reactos.org
        ReportedBy: bblaauw at gmail.com
         QAContact: ros-bugs at reactos.org


I'd like to file an enhancement request for giving FreeLDR the option to read
FREELDR.INI from floppy. 

If you load FreeLDR already from floppy using either bootsector(-file) or plain
old chainloading, it reads FREELDR.INI from diskette. However if you boot
FREELDR as Grub-style, it attempts to read this file from harddisk instead of
from the bootdrive.

This makes FreeLDR unusable as a floppy bootloader (loading other operating
systems), as well as causing issues when a user selects to NOT install
bootloader files to harddisk during phase 1 of SETUP.

An alternative might be to build in a default path instead of requiring a
configuration file. Failing that, GRUB-style FREELDR reading A:\FREELDR.INI
would be great.
