David,
I was able to test the grub_firmware file produced by the patch on a 64M DoC 2000. Yes, I could get to the GRUB prompt and play with "root (dc0," command. GRUB can access the configuration file and the kernel image stored in ext2 partition. The partition was created on top of NFTL block device layer. Mark Meade has offered few improvements to the patch. I think there are 2 latest changes that may be of interest to you: a) New configuration option --enable-diskonchip-biosnetboot will make GRUB firmware to attach itself to INT 18h (BIOS network boot) rather than to INT 19h (BIOS bootstrap loader). If you try that option, enable network boot in BIOS as well. b) The DoC SlowIO register is no longer read when fetching the data from the flash memory. I updated the patch. It is available at http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=164&group_id=68 Thanks for your time.
