Is there any reason not to just build a 32-bit static grub with "Pure64"? I realize it isn't pure at that point but it's only to kick things off. I think I found the idea on the CLFS lists, I just googled and found alot of references to Debian, Gentoo and others using this method at least at some time for their AMD64 distro.
I did this with an old CLFS Pure64 build ages ago, that really just followed LFS and pulled patches from CLFS when needed, resulting in a very similar base system to the JH branch. Unfortunately it was destined to be a Myth-box and ran into problems with 32-bit binary only codecs (too many work arounds required) so I scraped it in favor of a 32-bit build. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
