So my questions are: 1) The builded grubof can really bootstrap at least monolitics kernel (ex. linux) ? 2) What's the state of multiboot support (I know... for ppc there isn't a specified multiboot proto, or at least I don't know it's existence)? 3) What's the global state of ppc port? 4) What's need to be done? 5) Where do you suggest me to start from? thanks in advance -- Maurizio Boriani GPG key: 0xCC0FBF8F fingerprint => E429 A37C 5259 763C 9DEE FC8B 5D61 C796 CC0F BF8F <= fingerprint
