I have a debian system that I need to reconfigure grub for. Some questions:
1) How can one browse a partition in grub (ls, pwd)?
2) How can one mount a partition to read text files from it, from within grub?
3) Can I write to menu1st from within grub? How?
Thanks in advance.

m for Debian that works with FAT32? The files are
obviously there, as in this case (now) I had 700 MB of the 2GB card
used, but now it looks like an empty 1300 MB card.

problem is, this might work. I am googling usage examples now.
