Some more great features and modules:
- GRUB gives you a command line interface. The time-out can be set to 0.
- Debugging with lspci, lsacpi, setpci, …
- Instrumentation with boottime, cacheinfo, …
- Show CBMEM console with `cbmemc`.
- Show CBMEM time stamps with `coreboot_boottime`.
- Support for coreboot systems with native graphics support.
To which I would add: 7. support for a menu, so that your most frequent options can be selected with a few keys 8. support for LUKS, so that you can protect your /boot
The only missing functionality is the lack of support for silent boot (set timeout_style=hidden) to show the boot menu upon a keypress.
With native graphics support, I would love to be able to start FreeDOS, or memtest with screen output. Someday with SeaBIOS maybe. In any case, grub2 is a must.
