Okay, but I'll wait until someone actually tests your patch in a
slow machine.
I'm successfully running grub on a 386SX-40, with my patch. No
noticeable slowness in any of its activity.
Now it's up to you.
Thanks for your work

I changed initial message reporting:
- print "GRUB " and "Loading stage2" instead of
"stage1 " and "stage2 "
- print a dot every INT13 and copy and a newline at the end
- don't clear the screen when displaying the banner
The first and second change are useful in case of errors: my
While adding the "loading..." dots I noticed this one.
It's a minor change, but I see no reasons to copy bytes when
we can copy four of them at a time.
Yes, I tested this change (like the previous one). It's against

With the current CVS tree I can't read my several minix partitions on
the 386SX (the ones I used to test several versions of my embedded
system).
The reason for this is that they are type 0x81 and fsys_minix refuses
to deal with them. Since all minix fs's created under Linux are
marked 0x81
