That's the use case of the GRUB BIOS boot partition with Type GUID
21686148-6449-6e6f-744e656564454649.

Hi,
economically and ecologically it makes few sense to let old computers do
real work, even if they are for free. The ratio of power consumption to
computing power is like with an old 100 W light bulb.
But as exhibition object 'tis ok. :))
