|  | Change partition syntax to correspond with BSD ``slice'' syntax | 
|  | (`(hd0,1a)' -> `/dev/hd0s2a'). | 
|  |  | 
|  | Add a partition naming syntax that means ``the first partition of this | 
|  | type''.  We need this for clean Hurd install floppies. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Add a real scripting language, possibly retaining backward | 
|  | compatibility so that old config files can be used. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Add internationalization support, emulating gettext as much as is | 
|  | feasible. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Add bootable CDROM support (this probably means we have to support | 
|  | ISO-9660 plus maybe even the Rock Ridge extensions...  ugh). | 
|  |  | 
|  | Make symbolic links work for BSD FFS. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Fix keyboard/gateA20 bug (????  at least look at the code).  The | 
|  | keyboard status bits may be checked wrong. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Add indirect block support to the BSD FFS filesystem code, so files | 
|  | larger than 16MB can be read. | 
|  |  | 
|  | ???  Add command for modifying partition types. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Add OpenBSD support. The recent versions cannot be loaded. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Fix-up FreeBSD, NetBSD (and OpenBSD ?) command-line boot parameters | 
|  |  | 
|  | Add a new installation command, such as `setup', which should be easier | 
|  | to use and more automatic than the command `install'. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Add keyboard layout configuration support. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Clean up and enhance the manuals, especially concept indexes. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Add more filesystems support (XFS, NTFS, etc.) | 
|  |  | 
|  | Add remote console support (serial, parallel and net). |
