, then maybe it's possible to (re)activate these
routines. If Grub is running on a computer without such a BIOS, Grub has
to deal with ATAPI communication, floppy emulation etc (very difficult).
Correct me if I'm wrong.

on different "targets", which can be X, framebuffer, native
GGI-drivers etc.
The native GGI hardware drivers are quite few, but libggi works good with
other targets.

Hullo! Are there archives of this list somewhere so I can avoid wasting
peoples times asking FAQ's? =)
Yes, the GRUB homepage has a link to

Also, what is the status of Autoconf/Automake requirements? The same

have knowledge of these, but few has Nasm installed on Linux systems.
Yes, but they are not required unless you develop GRUB. So I don't
think the requirements are bad.
Ok.

I suppose the first line is for dl=7? Otherwise I'm puzzled.
I suppose that if sectors=0, the disk doesn't exist.
Yes, that seems ok.
I'm hesitating
El Torito specifies that in the Boot Catalog, Defalt entry, byte 2 you can
set emulation type. Valid types are no/1.2/1.44/2.88/HD. I'll try to check
this byte. This should answer the question whether BIOS or CD-burning
software fails.
I looked at get_diskinfo_floppy, and it seems very
Yes. I can access both the real iso9660-filesystem and the virtual floppy
inside the booted GRUB.
Oops, I don't mean that. GRUB doesn't have iso9660-support. Yet :-) Thus,
I can access the virtual floppy when booted, and the iso-fs from a normal
PC.

I'm affraid that there is something wrong in the way how stage2 reads
floppy disks. Supposedly, a wrong sector was read.
I turned on "fstest", and verified with loading from a real floppy. The
output was exactly the same. So I think the right sectors are read, but
the read fails.
By the
chainloader=(fd0)/bootsect.dos, for example.
Try to insert a real floppy disk with the same image. 5% probability of
success.
This works. When booted from CD, the real floppy becomes fd1, so:
chainloader=(fd1)/bootsect.dos works.
But actually it seems that the filesystem code is to
Hmm... Can GRUB access your hard disks correctly? If not, try hard
disk emulation instead of floppy disk emulation. If my guess is
correct, that should work fine.
GRUB can access floppies just fine normally, but not via the emulation.
Maybe HD-emulation works, but I have very little
Then, you also need to load the code segment register with 0. I think
the only way to do that is to load the stack with 0:0x7c00, then do a
far return. I'm not sure of the byte order, though, so you may have

I'm looking for something that can boot a harddisk bootsector from DOS.
INT19 works fine, but if there is a floppy inserted it gets booted instead
(which is not what I want).
First, I checked if it's possible to make an GRUB.EXE, but that seems
quite hard. Instead I'm trying to emulate INT19
Is it possible to make an GRUB.EXE, eg. a stage2 executable running from
DOS?

I've worked a bit on support for symbolic color names. Notes:
* One can't mix numeric and symbolic formats. The last patch accepted:
color=0x17 green/red
but this one won't.
* You can't specify blinking foreground characters symbolically.
Personally, I think blink is useless, but if someone
I've added support for symbolic color names to GRUB. No documentation is
written yet, but it works as follows:
* You can give numeric values, just like before. Example:
color=0x17 0x70
* You can give symbolic names, with syntax:
color=foreground/background
Hello. I've made a color-patch for Grub. This makes Grub look a bit
like OS/2 Boot Manager. The cursor is also turned off in the menu.
