I'm trying to develop a program that will run, stand alone or with the libraries Grub gives me access to, parse serial data for a password, store the password to the MBR, then if valid return to Grub to boot windows... I'm not looking for a solution, I'm just looking for a place to start! Grub, is pretty poorly documented and I wouldn't be posting this is there was more (or I could find more) info on how to develop for GRUB. I guess I'd be a 'noob'... I hate using that term... we all have to start from some where. -C -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-do-I-boot-a-standalone-program-in-grub-%28a-password-checker-via-serial-input%29-before-allowing-grub-to-continue-booting--tf4739931.html#a13554502 Sent from the Grub - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
