The patch you are talking about is for GRUB Legacy, this mailinglist
is about GRUB 2.
Personally I wouldn't mind such support. Can you please describe what
this support means? I assume it is just a filesystem that needs to be
supported? I don't have the hardware, but implementing the filesystem
should be easy if someone can give me an image of a filesystem.
