Just probe the filesystem using modules until one works. For that module loading is required which can be done in GNU/Linux. The main problem is that you need to use mmap to get executable memory (which is OS specific) and the other problem are the relocations, the allocated memory needs to be close to the executable on the PPC. How is the correct stage1.5 selected in GRUB Legacy? -- Marco
