This adds pygrub, an implementation of a bootloader for domU. It reads from the guest filesystem (using libext2fs) and provides a grub-like interface for selecting the kernel/initrd/kernel args for booting your domU. TODO list off the top of my head: * Support filesystems other than ext[23] * Support whole disk images and not just a partition image * Implement command line editing/append mode * Possibly the full command line stuff * Password support * Other missing important bits? Even with that, it's still quite functional. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Katz <katzj@xxxxxxxxxx> Jeremy
