Details:

This patch adds a new command to the grub builtins, which is a combination of
the "find" and "configfile" commands.  It allows grub to search for a
configuration file on all partitions and load it automatically.

We are using it in a test CD which needs to reboot several times to find new
kernels.  It will be used on many systems so we can't have a statically
assigned place on disk to keep the config data for which kernel to load next.
 Instead, we save the next boot's grub config with a known path (in any
partition) and search for it at boot time using this "findconfig" command. 

The patch is against the CVS source of 20051128

Cheers,

Tim Deegan
