Re: grub2 and network boot

[Dallas Clement]

Unfortunately, my motherboard does not support PXE boot.  It's a Via
C7 (i686) mini-ITX board.  Grub2 was working really great for me, I
just need to be able to either TFTP or NFS boot to 1) ease development
2) provide a firmware recovery mechanism

Migrating to U-Boot seems like overkill.  Do you guys have any other
recommendations?

Thanks,
Dallas
