It wouldn't work well since Grub relies on legacy BIOS interrupt services AFAIK. Instead, I'd suggest using FILO. See http://linuxbios.org/index.php/FILO > I haven't delved much into this yet but seems to me I would have to > rebuild a new LinuxBIOS image and flash it if I want to change > where the kernel is loaded from (partition or filename) or any > other build-time options. Yes, that is by design. So far LB has been used mostly in systems where interaction is undesirable/disallowed/impossible. > Also, has anyone thought about putting in some kind of > configuration utility as is found by pressing Delete or F2 or > whatever on regular BIOS'? See above answer. Please help improving the design though. How would you like a "setup" to work? What would you like to be able to set? (Give it some good thought in case you were about to list what your proprietary BIOS can do.) //Peter -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
