     <braunr> safer
     <braunr> perhaps more powerful too, but that entirely depends on the

+    <braunr> hm, looks like we broke subhurds again
+    <braunr> freezes after starting exec
+    <teythoon> o_O
+    <braunr> looks like some translator refuses to start
+    <braunr> teythoon: we need better error reporting first :)

+      translator and linker to use?
+    <braunr> teythoon: yes but you don't want your root file system mounted
+      from the host when starting your subhurd
+    <teythoon> you can mount it r/o just fine, no?
+    <braunr> ideally, we'd have a userspace version of grub reading the files
+      from the disk, as it's done when booting
+    <braunr> hm

+    <teythoon> braunr: btw, did you straighten out your subhurd issue?
