As GRUB 2 is ported to the ultra sparc64 it might be wise for us (GRUB
and solaris developers) to talk about multiboot.  Of course other
parties might be interested as well (the Hurd uses multiboot, for
example).

Anyway, what is important for you is that we are thinking about a
portable multiboot and that there is also a sparc port in the making.
