Subject: How to chainload grub on different platforms?
Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2016 20:14:28 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <56CDE4F4.9070903@gmail.com> (raw)

On x86 we can use multiboot (on in exceptional case chainload boot block).

On EFI we can use chainloader to launch EFI binary.

What can we do on PowerPC? SPARC? ARM? MIPS?

I think we really need some generic platform-independent interface to
load another grub binary.
