Should be self-explanatory, these tools will be used on sparc64 just
like they are on i386-pc

	* conf/common.rmk (grub_probe_SOURCES): Add Sun partition module.

Hello

When you mention 'Sun Partition' what file-system are you specifying?

ZFS?
UFS?

He surely meant Sun partition table format and not a filesystem. Grub2
doestn't support ZFS
Sun seems to have it's own partition table format just like pc (or
msdos) /gpt/apple/amiga/acorn which grub2 supports.

Ah, I see.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up also, David.

Well, I'll make another topic soon, once I've gotten FreeBSDs 64-bit
kernel to boot directly from GRUB2, requesting support for ZFS.

Thanks,

Panarchy

Please don't start developement of grub-zfs because I'm already doing 
some stuff on it. It would be pity to duplicate the work

EXT3, but the sun "partition" support has to be there for grub tools
to even get at the filesystems at all.
