You can send anything related to GRUB2 to grub-devel, don't worry
about that. The advantage of a mailinglist is that everyone can
reply.
Ok. Replied to list.
Is this to say that an f-code bootsector is underway (or maybe even
complete)?
At the moment only Vincent is working on the sparc specific part of
GRUB 2. I think making GRUB 2 actually useful on the sparc is of
higher priority to him (for example writing a linux loader). Would
you like to help us writing a f-code bootsector?
Well, I did halfway learn Forth a couple years ago in an attempt to port
my hobby OS over to sparc, and I have both an Ultra 5 and a Blue&White
Mac G3, so I can do some cross-platform testing. Desite this, I find it
hard to believe I'm the most qualified of this crowd to do this. ;)
Let me think about it some. I'd be in WAY over my head, as I haven't
really thought through how the f-code<->grub2 interface would be
structured. Are there any docs or thoughts on this from the group? How
is the direct stage1 -> stage2 process being handled on x86 without the
stage1.5 middleman? Specifically, how are you handling different
filesystem structures in the boot sector?
