You can install Grub in a DiskOnChip in place of the M-Systems firmware. Instead of installing an INT 13h handler, it instead installs an INT 19h handler which just dumps you into Grub. You could make it run Grub or your own code immediately rather than installing an IRQ vector and returning. This way, we get to use Grub to boot embedded systems from DiskOnChip, instead of having to rely on their fairly crappy firmware's INT 13h emulation. -- dwmw2
