grub2 already contains a complete and working TCP/IP stack. The only 
thing which may be missing is a card driver for the environment it is 
running on.

I once wrote a card driver for the Xen virtual network card and a Telnet 
implementation, just to educate myself. It is not perfect (nor secure), 
but it works. So it should not be impossible to implement ssh support.
