Inspired by my own problems, in a s= eIfish way, I would suggest "Grub2 and RAID" + section 3.8.

I've been working on grub.texi and I notice a refere= nce to http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-faq.html.  I will cha= nge that to
grub-2-faq.en.html before I submit it.

I think we sho= uld come up with a new list of FAQs here and agree on the answers.  I'= ll be glad to format it.

The current questions are:

Why do yo= u need to rewrite GRUB?
What is the status of GRUB 2?

I would rem= ove both of these and and start with:

I have questions about GRUB2!<= BR>What operating systems does GRUB2 support?
What hardware platforms do= es GRUB2 support?
How does GRUB2 differ from GRUB Legacy (GRUB1)?
How= do I create a GRUB2 boot floppy?
How do I create a GRUB2 boot CD-ROM?
How are partitions specified? That seems to be very different from th= e notation in my operating system...

How do I uninstall GRUB2 from my hard disk drive?
I installed GRUB, but it just hangs up. What now?-----------

What others would you suggest?

By the way, vali= dator.w3.org says grub-2-faq.en.html has 24 errors, but that cascades error= s.  I only see 5 errors.  I imagine the page is formatted by a st= andard header + body + standard footer, but there is one html error in the = header too:

...
alt=3D"image of the Head of a GNU" width=3D"129" = height"122" />

height is missing an =3D sign.
