Conscious that I am not a developer but it is useful to get feedback on
the project I have outlined progress mad so far with * to indicate
questions/discussion points.
I have been building a fat grub2 (using the fatglue.py script from rEFIT
project) to use on Intel Macs (mac mini; iMac 8,1; iMac 9,1 etc). This
works on both 32 and 64 bits architectures. Because the modules don't
work as fat files I tend to use a monolithic grub image. (FWIW, the idea
is to have a utility boot CD to pass out to our field operators.)
* Is there mileage in having the modules (when insertion is attempted to
not only try to insert <modpath>/name.mod but also <modpath>/name.<arch>.mod
Incidentally I have checked that I can insert the non-fat modules from
the fat grub2 monolithic image.
I have managed to have it boot from CD but it always chokes when trying
to find the grub.cfg on the CD - even though I have the required
filesystems in the monolithic grub image. I see in the README CD support
is not there yet however if someone has that working, tips would be
appreciated.
Thanks for a great product,
James
