GRUB on DoC Millenium
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.

No messages other than BIOS initialization ones?
Have you tried the --enable-diskonchip-biosnetboot option? This will hook the RAM copy of stage 1 bootloader to INT 18h which is the network boot handler. The BIOS should be configured to boot off the network first.
