BIG BREAKTHROUGH! Found needle in hay stack in wrong mb2 hdr, finally boots
Sol11.1++ via Grub2 UEFI32 on Lenovo MIIX 300-10IBY

WITH KBD/USB/HDD/DVD!! Will publish detailed article and diffs in some days or
say 1 week ;) It is very related to Illumos, because it finally proves that
only xhci (provided acpi gets modernized with DilOS's diffs) prevented all usb
devices including kbd from getting detected. No i2c drivers need to be prorted
(see
http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/USB-and-Intel-Bay-Trail-td300473.html
) OpenSXCE will use Grub2 because it is in countless ways superiour to the
FreeBSD loader. E.g. interoperability, menu configuration management, setpci
command, and - really cute - you can loopback mount iso files which reside
somehow somewhere (such as on the same bootstick or disk) and boot off them.
The list is endless. Err, the FreeBSD loader port also fails to boot
Solaris11.1++ via UEFI32, because it still has the same multiboot2 header error
that I now finally detected and fixed in Grub2. As said - more later. Enough
stuff for a full featured article with boot viideos, screenshots, fiffs and say
some Grub2-enabled OI and/or OpenSXCE test iso. Stay tuned.
