making grub portable

[Andrew Clausen]

Hi all,

I'm entertaining the idea of porting grub to the Origin 200, which is
a 64 bit mips-based machine.  Radically different to x86 :)

I see that grub has been ported to pc/98, but I can't see much
more, since I can't speak Japanese.

Anyway, how hard would it be to make grub portable?
I guess most of stage{1,1.5} would need to be rewritten for
each platform, and a small amount of stage2?

Got any closet Grand Plans?

Cheers,
Andrew

PS: I don't speak for SGI.
