Hi again,

Could the hfspbless patch be updated and hopefully committted to provide the hfspbless module as standard in grub2.
 Attached to this e-mail and on my personal git repository in branch bless the rediff. I was thinking of adding ppc mac support but haven't done it yet I think we can incorporate apple intel support without the ppc counterpart yet. Does anyone object?

It is valuable to enable auto-booting grub.efi installation on Apple Intel Mac efi and also where Mac OSX/refit is not installed. Potentially for automated grub.efi installation on Apple.

The old patch has not caught up with subsequent changes to hfsplus.c and requires editing to get it to work.

Hello, due to request by ams I wrote this. It's an analog of "bless" command available under OSX rewritten using grub2 fs functions and according to apple specification of hfs+ on-disk format. This command only update the blessed folder on a partition it doesn't change which drive is used for booting. The later will be a separate command. Also you can choose which volume to boot from by holding option key. Syntax:
hfspbless <DIRECTORY>
It works only on HFS+ volumes. Also due to the lack of hardware I wasn't unable to test this "in vivo"
