Amazing - thank you for all the hard work you've put into this! I've just had a look in your home directory on people.debian.org for the GRUB test ISO but I can't see it - have you removed it pending application of your patches? Patches look good, although the second patch still uses /boot/grub/sparc64.elf instead of /boot/grub/core.img for the grub-mkimage output parameter - is that correct? ATB, Mark.
