Before I give you an answer, let me explain what I plan on doing. If you like it, and if I succeed, then I'll give back the changes I made. If not, then I won't waste everybody's time anymore. I plan on using Macintosh's "Netboot" (which is just like PXE except for a few minor details) to boot G

Hi, Thanks :). I think what we need is a directory on the GRUB2 Wiki that contains pointers to major contributors' private repositories, and a reasonable up-to-date description of what's there -- that way, no one need guess or duplicate effort for all the goodies that are already done! --

I am interested in it as a learning project for me. I only have access to New World Macintosh's, so I can only get TFTP working for Open Firmware Mac's. I imagine that won't be of much use to you. Remember, I can't make any promises, but I am very interested in getting TFTP to work (with Open Fi

Are you talking about Grub legacy? I would like to use Grub2 just for the sake of being up-to-date. What needs to be added to Grub2 to be able to boot via TFTP? I can't make any promises, but I would like to see if I can add the features myself as a side project (when I'm not busy with school).
