I don't really know all this boot-time magic, but my guess is that you need to 1. Port Grub to ARM. Adding support for multiple platforms and multiple cpu:s to Grub will be an interesting and useful thing to do, but perhaps non-trivial. Personally, I'd like to see a Grub port to sparc, reusing some of the SILO assembler code, but I don't have the time (and perhaps not the skill either) for that. 2. Either replace the netwinders bootloader with the new ARM Grub, or figure out some way to "chain load" Grub from the netwinder's own bootloader. The later is *not* making Grub a "mini-kernel", it just means fitting grub into a different booting sequence, in the same place as the linux-kernel in the ordinary netwinder boot sequence.
