Summary: remote (network) controllable bootmenu
Original Submission: I'm using Wake-On-LAN to power on my machine and I'm able
to power down it again using halt -p under linux for example. However what I
can't do is to remotely select a different operating system (well I can log
into my linux box modify the menu.lst and rebootm but I have no access to it
from FreeBSD for example, I'm using reiserfs)
As there is already basic networking in, terminal code in (for serial control)
I think it should be easy to make config options to allow connections from a
specified host/network at a defined port. Then I could telnet there (I know
plaintext.., but I trust my network) and use the menu as with the serial
console, nothing fancy..
I think this would make GRUB the first choice bootmanager for all WOL guys.
