We really should have them, but in practice we never had. This

* docs/multiboot.texi: Misc editorial changes:
Avoid using `commercial' as a synonym for `non-free'
(see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Commercial).
Make a clear distinction between kernels and Operating Systems
(Linux is a kernel, FreeBSD and NetBSD are Operating Systems, Mach
is a microkernel, VSTa is something in-between).
Use 64-bit types to describe 64-bit datum (instead of splitting in
two 32-bit fields). Little endianess assumption applies (as per
Terminology section).

Surpass 1 TiB disk addressing limit. Note: there are no plans to handle
the 2 TiB disk limit in GRUB Legacy, since that would need considerable
rework. If you have >2TiB disks, use GRUB 2 instead.

This is a big change on saving a default entry. This change
makes it possible to set up a quite robust system using GRUB.
Now we do not use the second sector of Stage 2 to store an
entry number but use the file /boot/grub/default. This file
must be generated by grub-set-default, although this file is
plain-text.
* util/grub-set-default.in: New file.
* util/grub-install.in (grub_set_default): New variable.
Use /grub instead of /boot/grub on OpenBSD as well as NetBSD.
Run grub-set-default to make a default file.

support multiple fallback entries.

if possible, before reading a config file.
