[netboot] A multiboot compliant GRUB ?

[Thierry Laronde]

Hello,

With the GRUB we have a very powerful tool. For example, as everybody might
know, you can compile GRUB with the support of all PCI NIC cards, and you
will be able to boot via the network any unknown machine with a supported
PCI NIC card.

I'd liked to call GRUB, via the network, to propose a menu, but, at the
moment, this is not possible since there is only nbi or pxe GRUB.

To add support for nbi or pxe is something I can think about... But what
about taking GRUB as the examplary kernel for the multiboot specification ?
Then GRUB could be loaded via GRUB (on a floppy or on a disk), since GRUB
can load multiboot compliant kernels ?

Just an idea ;)
