We should be working on making syslinux work for all cases then.

Grub2 has more than warts, it's a total disaster. I have not found a
single user that likes grub2 (outside of the grub2 developers
themselves).

The "oneshot" booting is totally broken, I could never get it to work
consistently, thus I had to abandon it for ktest. Grub2 may be
flexible, but it is overly complicated. It's horrible to do anything
but the "default" settings.
