Hi,
I asked something in the past but got no answer, I'm going to try a
different approach.
Suppose I wanted to implement eltorito boot (as for mkiso -b
iso/boot/eltorito -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table) for
GRUB 2. What do you think would be the best approach? I took a look at
GRUB Legacy's eltorito_start and it doesn't think neither too
complicated nor too different to boot.S from GRUB 2, give or take a table.
What I mean, is, what do you think I should do in order to implement
it in such a way that I don't trash all sources?
Also, if you think I should not need eltorito for making bootable
ISOs I'd love to know how to do it (I need to boot with a 700KB kernel
and a 20/25 MB module (gziped to 10MB)
thanks
gera
PS: My original question was regarding VBE and eltorito, my solution was
to implement some extra vbe support for GRUB Legacy, mainly because I
needed eltorito, and GRUB 2 doesn't have it...
