Hi,

Enhancing the TFTP & PXE boot capabilities of GRUB2 is extremely important to our use of GRUB2, so if you're interested in doing this work, please let me know so we can coordinate our efforts.

 Thanks,

Are you talking about Grub legacy?  I would like to use Grub2 just for the
sake of being up-to-date.

What needs to be added to Grub2 to be able to boot via TFTP?  I can't make
any promises, but I would like to see if I can add the features myself as a
side project (when I'm not busy with school).

I am able to boot Grub2, but it gives me the following errors:

I've used grub from bean's git repository and lightly patched it to add
memdisk
module for efi.
Then I've created grub.efi binary with embed grub.cfg and embed disk with
kernel
image.

I'd like to make a feature request to have network device drivers.  It'd
be nice to be able to boot off the network and be prompted with a menu
that allows you to boot into one of several different Linux environment
contained on a server.  Maintenance and imaging are the main things I
want to use this for.
