Currently there is no way to use GRUB for booting on non-intel-x386
machines. I hope, GRUB becomes a multi-platform project one day, but
currently it is design to use ix86 BIOS functionality.

If we really add here an extension, then my favourite is a

Hello GRUB people,
sorry for speaking about this topic again, but I see a problem
in the now developed strategy concerning serial support.
The problem I see is, that the menu file or the preset menu file is
executed after the ethernet probes, etc.
But on machines having no monitor or
Ok, I did the patch already using the old TIMEOUT method (used before in
etherboot and GRUB) but the new routines handling the EEPROM access,
etc.
At the moment my time is limited to do that in a "releasable" way, but I
will try in the next few days.

I will deliver the patch to GRUB very soon (inside next days) !

This GRUB works correct, does a bootp, loads the
menu definedwith `T150=""' and boots CORECCTLY !!! (no crash !)

Etherboot problem ?
Is GRUB not completely loaded in RAM ?

Hello,
as I already described before, my prefered solution to the problem
is the use of a kind of variables in GRUB like
$MEM, $IP, $SERVER_IP, etc, etc,...
So the user can decide himeself using kernel paramters, like
kernel /boot/vmlinuz mem=$MEM root=/dev/hda2
etc If
