GRUB Legacy only works on PC BIOS on i386 PCs.
GRUB 2 only works on PC BIOS on i386 PCs, Openfirmware on PowerPC and RISC OS
on ARM. A Openfirmware on SPARC64 port in in progress.
As far as I can tell IBM netvista thin clients are none of those.
Furthermore GRUB 2 currently contains no network support, so only the RISC OS
port can boot an OS from a network.

What for? Anyhow it can be found the build directory with a filename ending in
".exec".
