Does grub checksum the configuration information? A magic number and
(optional but useful) checksum would allow one to select the correct
kernel boot. The checksum would add confidence without needing to be
show stopper.
Which reminds me, is there a CRC-16 function (I'm sure I encountered
one in second edition many years ago) lurking somewhere that would
save me re-inventing it (I need it to model some HDLC operations)? If
not, I'm sure with a bit of effort I can submit one, which library
would be most appropriate?
