I've activated the echo command (also the pause command) which it is
equivalent to the echo command... and have done some tests:
grub pause fjfjl

grub pause fjfjl
fjfjl
grub pause -n \n
error: Internal error
grub pause \n

grub pause -n \n

I attach the proposal of patch and I comment some doubts that I have.

I attach the patch that makes grub2 to have a map command.
The map command only modifies a vector. If we want true map in grub2 we
need to hook some functions so that some bios calls ocurr.
Meanwhile I think how to do it... here there is my patch and some
questions and suggestions.

Interesting would also be to boot pure 64bit kernels. I think some of
the BSDs have their bootloader switch to 64bit long mode, so the kernel
does not have to dot this anymore. Maybe grub could do the same thing.
To enable long mode you
Hi.
Here is a patch for booting GRUB via itself with multiboot module.
Tested on [http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnX86]-alike floppy image and QEMU.
BTW. When I'm trying to add some code/data before/in multiboot_entry in
startup.S, GRUB hangs with Loading kernel message (even if it booted

Hi all!
I think it would be wise to keep some kind of status updates from time
to time so we can keep track on what people are doing (related to grub
2). If we continue with current situation we are long in 2010's before
we have next release.
I think it would also be important to coordinate more

The problem might be that Grub2 locks out existing operating systems,
if it does not support switching to long mode itself. I read rumours
only, so I might be completely wrong.
Is anyone booting non-Linux OSes like FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
OpenSolaris, etc with GRUB2
Heh, UEFI x64 runs in long mode, and it has no problems doing things
like that. To linearly map the first 4GB you need a whole of 24KB
worth of page tables (using 2m pages). And the code to enter long
mode directly from RM is pretty trivial. RM-16PM-LM.

I wouldn't go as far as saying it is overly complex. If all you want
to do is linearly map the first 4GB (which is likely enough), you can
just pre-build the like... 6 or 7 tables you need (with 2m pages) in
an assembly source along with a 64-bit GDT and dummy IDT. Obviously
