* For MultiBoot Support *



Since Grub can be loaded from CD, we may want it load some binary boot file
from system, such as DiskEMU.bin, xpboot.bin, or bootsect.dat, and so on.



Yes, here are functions for this:

1). builtins.c

static int run_func(char *arg, int flags) {

 int ret;

 unsigned long run_drv;

 struct term_entry *prev_term = current_term;

        

 run_drv = saved_drive;

 if(run_drv == cdrom_drive)

 {

  if (cdrom_drive != 0xe0) 

  {

   grub_printf("\n Please init CD-ROM 1st. \n");

   return 1;

  }

 }

 if (! grub_open (arg))

 {

   grub_printf("\n incorect parameter. \n");

   return 1;

  }

 

 /* Read whole file.  */

 ret = grub_read ((char *) RAW_ADDR (0x60000), -1); 

        

 grub_close();



 if (current_term->shutdown) 

 {

  (*current_term->shutdown)();

   current_term = term_table; /* assumption: console is first */

 }



 gateA20 (0);

 run_jump(0x7c0, 0, run_drv);



 /* if we get back here, we should go back to what our term was before */

 current_term = prev_term;

 if (current_term->startup)

      /* if our terminal fails to initialize, fall back to console since

       * it should always work */



  if ((*current_term->startup)() == 0)

 current_term = term_table; /* we know that console is first */ 

 return 0;

}



static struct builtin builtin_run=

{

        "run",

        run_func,

        BUILTIN_CMDLINE | BUILTIN_MENU | BUILTIN_HELP_LIST,

        "run FILE",

        "Run a NO-Emul Boot Sector file for CD-ROM Boot",

};





struct builtin *builtin_table[] =

{

   ... ...



  &builtin_run,



   ... ...

}

something comments for codes in asm.S

====================================



Because Grub's stage2 lays on 0000:8000, we have to read file to 6000:0000;



In asm.S, we have 2 thing to do, one is move boot codes from 6000:0000 to
7c0:0000;  and another one is move the 1st one from Grub's body to 0000:6000,
and run it. ;-)
