For a while there was a patch maintained by the Linux MTD developers (http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org) to enable GRUB to boot from a Disk-on-Chip (DOC) flash device. The most recent patch was for grub- 2003-11-10. There appears to be multiple dependency problems which makes using this patch today difficult. (Specific versions of GCC, autoconf and automake are required to build). If there was a DOC patch that worked with the curent grub CVS, would you consider incorporating it? - Joe
