Putting GRUB into ROM?

[Andreas Ehliar]

Since my latest idea about putting something into
a bootrom didn't work out I'm thinking about using
my empty socket on the ethernet-card to house GRUB
instead.

What do I need to change in GRUB in order to allow it
to boot from a boot rom?

Looking at the code from etherboot I think one would
want to patch INT 19 to have GRUB run after everything
else is setup.

Actually, I think it would be quite possible to add
such a module to the Flash-ROM containing the BIOS as
well but I will have to figure out more exactly how the
Award-BIOS is working in that case. That would be a
later project anyway.
