:I should probably be shot for even thinking this, but here goes.

:May I pick at the brains of someone much more familiar with the
:boot loader than I, to see if this idea is worth my time?
:...

:I see a fair number of hardcoded paths to `/boot/foo' in the
:few source files I've looked at so far.  Basically, I want
:DFly to always look at /dboot/foo and ignore the presence of
:any /boot.  Then I pass this path to `grub'.

:Is this a reasonable thing to try, or am I off my rocker?

:thanks

    I think you will find it more trouble then it's worth.
