Do you mean one should modify a specific setting in pmon? Then, I assume
that the parameter that should be modified is "al", which initial value
is "/dev/fs/address@hidden/boot/vmlinux".
Is it correct to set this parameter to "/dev/fs/address@hidden/boot/grub.elf"?

BTW, what are the preliminary operations?
I have installed grub-yeeloong and yeeloong-base, then I executed:

grub-image -0 elf -o grub.elf -f font.bin sm712 gfxterm sh normal
at_keyboard ata linux part_msdos ext2

with the following error: "grub-mkimage: error: cannot stat font.bin"

then 

"grub-install /dev/hda"

It created a "grub.elf" file.

Is the grub porting at an too early stage to update the
http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Projects/GNewSenseToMIPS page with the
detailed procedure? 

Thank you for your help
