Low-level documentation

[Fredrik Tolf]

Dear list,

Grub 1 is obviously long dead by now, but one thing I always liked about 
it was how transparent much of its low-level workings was. It made it easy 
to make it work on systems that were broken in strange ways or where I had 
to work under weird circumstances.

Grub 2, on the other hand, seems to try to go the "user-friendly" way, 
with `grub-install' wanting to do all the work for me. This is fine, I 
guess, so long as the circumstances aren't too strange for it to work.

What bothers me particularly is the actual installation step itself. 
Building a core image and all seems documented enough, but the 
`grub-bios-setup' utility isn't even so much as mentioned in the Texinfo 
manual, and even less so what it actually does, in detail. Is there any 
available information on this anywhere?

Thanks for reading!
