Hi,

   Great work!

   BTW. Did you know there is an existing Grub2 USB project from coreboot?

Lately I have been working on USB support for GRUB 2.  It's not
completely ready yet.  The code was only tested on QEMu and supports
UHCI, OHCI, USB Mass Storage and HID.  Most likely it will not
immediately work on real hardware.  But please test and report if you
want to be sure ;-)

You can download a tarball of GRUB 2 with USB included or a patch
here:

You can read more about this here:

Stuff I will yet have to do:

- Implement EHCI support
- Cleanup
- Improve error handling
- Test on real hardware :-)
- Make it possible to add and remove devices on the fly
