Would be nice to have GRUB2 for the IA-64 as well.  Intel documents the 
Extensible Firmware Interface and makes a lot of docs and tools 
available, plus driver writer guides and oodles of examples.

I might be lucky enough to have an IA-64 system (HP workstation, 
Itanium2 900MHz, 2GB RAM, 2x 36GB SCSI-3 disks, picked up second hand on 
eBay...) later this week.  It's interesting enough for me to have spent 
the last 5 hours transfixed by the docs. :)

I'll be sure to hack up the GRUB2 sources for IA-64 and give it a go.

Sniff... can't afford a 64-bit PPC...
