What's the difference between GNU GRUB and Erich Boleyn's original
GRUB?  (Your draft webpage doesn't say this, but it should.)

Does Erich still maintain GRUB?

There is a potential licensing problem because parts of the netboot
code we've started from are licensed under a BSD license while GRUB is
GPL'd, so it may be illegal to aggregate the two.  So far, we've
chosen to ignore this problem.  What's your stance on this?
