Hi, This kind of usage have been around for some time. In grub legacy, it generates pxe image by catenating pxeloader and pre_stage2. pxeboot.img is basiclly identical to pxeloader.S, and pre_stage2 and core.img loaded at the same address, so it can conclude pxe image can be built by combining pxeboot.img and core.img. But I agree that perhaps not many people know about it, it's a good idea to write some doc in the wiki. BTW, any comment on the content of the patch ? -- Bean _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
