Work has been done as part of GSoC to: - make GRUB able to boot from CD via eltorito - make GRUB cable to chainload to eltorito CDs I plan to get that synced with CVS and merged upstream. I haven't got time to do it yet, though. Other nice features that may be interesting for CD images are 64-bit cpu detection, and scripting support. As for EFI (is this thread about EFI?), it's supported, but still not very well (check the BTS). Anyway, most of non-ia64 EFI machines are Apple boxen which provide a way out of the EFI madness (so-called boot camp). -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
