I'm not expert....so our company has hired a contractor to come up with
an UNDI driver for GRUB. I know I have a driver a person here on the
list came up with and apparently has working on a 3COM ethernet card.
Our contractor has come back to me and suggested an UNDI driver is not
possible because GRUB uses protected mode for downloading the kernel and
initrd. I have my doubts on this since what I know of grub, this is not
true....and the Linux kernel starts up in real mode, does BIOS calls,
etc. anyways....
Can someone please clearify for me if this is or is not the case? Does
GRUB use some protected mode magic to load the kernel/initrd into high
ram? Our contractor is craving a custom solution for us which I'd like
to avoid if possible.
