Dual Bootloader
Submitted by fahhem on 17 May, 2008 - 23:23.
I'm working (on and off) on DalBoot, a dual-booter for the Lifedrive. Of course, it could be modified to work on any other Palm, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to work with GRUB.
I'm curious if using GRUB's implementation of many things (parsing grub.conf, images, etc) could be used to speed up and greatly enhance my bootloader. So far, I can load up and display an image (the image isn't tested on a physical device yet), but GRUB can do so much more. It can allow you to actually choose which OS to boot, something I haven't implemented yet. And it seems like a menu of that sort won't be easy/fun to implement, and GRUB already has done so.
Anybody familiar with GRUB?
Grub menu parsing is pretty
Grub menu parsing is pretty simple. I mean, config file format is simple enough to write your own parser :) You don't even need much of the options due to the fact that palm booting process is simple than on x86.
