If it is important for you, you could add support to GRUB Legacy. It has networking support. The disadvantage of doing that is that new features are not accepted for GRUB Legacy. Another disadvantage is that it will become obsolete someday. If you are interested in working on networking support for GRUB 2, that would be great... -- Marco
