So I continued working !!
As I mentioned befor, I can start GRUB diskless !
I did the test and development on a NE2000 nic.
Now, my 'patched' GRUB detects, whether it was booted
by netboot or 'normal' by disk.
If GRUB is booted by netboot, it sets up the
network by a 'bootp' call (not 'rarp' yet), and
sets up the root to the network device.
Furthermore the string '/tftpboot/grub/menu.lst'
was added to asm.S which is taken instead of
'/boot/grub/menu.lst', if netboot was used. So GRUB
can download automatically it's 'menu.lst' !!
It works really fine. I will now test some situations
and bring the code in a 'good look' to send the diffs.
Where can I send them, how is this handled ?
Can I directly check in the CVS ?
Cheers
