Of course it's desirable, but is it possible? I don't really know grub,
but isn't the fact that it's written in C, in 32bit, means it would be
difficult to call 16 bit APIs? I downloaded the PXE specs, and looked
at the pxelinux source (all asm), and don't really know what to do.
E.g., how do I write an function in asm that is callable from C?

I tried Etherboot-5.0.5, and the sympthoms are mostly the same.
What else should I try?
