I've just checked in a horde of changes that implements most of
grub/asmstub.c using libcurses and some semi-portable disk hackery. I
also bumped up the GCC warning level to -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wunused, and made extensive code cleanups until it was warning-free.
In the process, I fixed a few bugs, but the best thing is that my
changes don't seem to break anything!
I encourage you to compile GRUB with --enable-sbin-grub, and run the
grub program yourself. It's really cool.
I have one question for you folks: under Linux on the i386, how do you
move the stack to a different location, then move it back? I've
attempted to do this in asmstub.c (grub_stage2) [SIMULATE_STACK], but
I don't know the necessary GCC magic.
My reason is that I want grub_scratch_mem to be a memory image of the
i386 machine at bootup. That way, I can check for buffer and stack
overruns the same as Electric Fence.
Any help would be appreciated,
