Package: palo
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice if palo could check at runtime if the disk it's being run 
against is bootable and/or is the primary boot path. If not it should issue a 
warning and explain that this might now be what the user intended. lilo does 
this and it's a nice feature to have.
