This is kind of nifty, with only two problems I can see: 1. The FreeBSD version of GAS is too old to assemble one of the .S files. Maybe it's not a showstopper because the grub distribution comes with a set of binaries, but it certainly made for some head-scratching as I was trying to make a couple of changes (see below). 2. It doesn't currently support any analog to BOOT_HD_BIAS in the FreeBSD boot loader. I've hacked up something simple, will send it back to erich@uruk.org when I've tested it a bit. Bruce.
