Not directly browsing, but grub gives you feedback what the partitions are. See: http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/nix/disk/boot/boot06-Grub/ar01s09.html#Hardcore_GRUB_No_Menu > 2) How can one mount a partition to read text files from it, from within > grub? Same trick, pressing the TAB key all the way from partition to the text file you want. Just use the command 'cat'. 3) Can I write to menu1st from within grub? How? AFAIK, no, BTW, It's named menu.lst (as in "el"-s-t, not 'one'-s-t).
