That's a good idea.

But why people want to make a GRUB branch of Etherboot so much? As I
said, what we should do is NOT make our own version of Etherboot. See
the source code of a recent version of Etherboot, and you should
understand that those problems you reported above have already been
fixed in Etherboot. Thus I said that we should update the drivers,
again and again. Why does nobody understand my intention? *sigh*
