The idea that GRUB or GRUB2 has anything to do with what devices a
system can or can not boot from is mostly a miss-conception.
A number of amd64/legacy-x86 systems have BIOSs that can talk to and

I've managed to install Solaris on an iMac with the bootcamp bits.
The most significant hurdles were conquered when Juergen Keil enabled
both multiboot and GRUB to work in a i8042 free system. That work is
covered by:

You're right, that's pretty ugly.
The right place to invest to make this better is to get rid of the
reboot entirely. Now that we're installing x86 via the ramdisk, once
SPARC follows, the whole launcher (which installs from CDs 2 through
876) can be ditched.
If someone wants to go though hav
You'll want to take a look at the driver.conf(4) man page and
translate all the bits of information you previously decorated the
node with via boot.rc into your .conf file.
So, something like:
name="ipmi_lpc" parent="/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0" device-type="pci"
unit-address="1f" ...

For what it's worth, I hacked away at the nevada build 22 miniroot
and was able to install a 128Mb system. Here are the details:
