What is the status on GRUB and DoC Millenium? I've read the posts in
the archive but it seems that people
have had mixed results with using GRUB to boot DoC Millenium.
I have 8MB a DoC Millenium. I've got mtd-snapshot-22020529 from CVS,
I've tried with grub 0.90, 0.91,
and 0.92 (with proper patches) and the board acts as if the DoC is not
even there. I dformat it to verify and
it works OK. Here's what I did:
1. patch grub.
2. aclocal, automake, autoconf.
3. configure with --enable-diskonchip for grub0.90. For grub0.91 and
grub 0.92, I've tried each
--enable-diskonchip-2000, --enable-diskonchip-mil512,
--enable-diskonchip-mil256.
4. cp stage2/pre_stage2 mtd/grub and make (for grub0.90), cp
stage1/grub_firmware mtd/grub for 0.91/2.
5. doc_loadbios.
6. nftl_format with offset 98304 doesn't work. With grub 0.91 and 0.92,
I notice grub_firmware gets larger
so I compensate by adding 8192 bytes to the grub_firmware size.
7. fdisk, mke2fs, etc.
8. Reboot and never see the grub.
Has anyone got it working. If so, please help.
