X86 bootloader (1): Select GRUB

Briefly,Boot loader

Is the first
Software program that runs when a computer starts. It is responsible for loading
And transferring control to the operating systemKernel

Software (such
As the Linux). The kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the operating system
(E.g. GNU ).

I want to select bootloader for my embedded operating system and boot my most basic linux system.
According to the o'reilly book I am reading, I started to select U-boot. However, during the actual operation, I found that
Don't check out the board to fixed my target. And this is the first step. my MID should be the structure of the x86 section.

This is also related to the plate structure of the system, so I began to consider using GRUB, just as the vast majority of x86 machines. GRUB maybe a better
Choice.

To be honest, it's really not that easy to run a system ....... However, I found that most of the information on the Internet is about GRUB configuration, which is not my target requirement. How can I start my current kernel from a file system through bootloader?

Grub's current version is 1.96. I checked it on repo.moblin.org and his version is 0.97. I checked it. He also used GNU Grub and added some patches, it is possible that intel handles fastboot. I can try both of them separately. They are not just the differences between version levels, GRUB
1.96 belongs to GRUB
2, while 0.97 is the last version of the traditional GRUB. GRUB2 will integrate PUPA. The specific differences are unclear. GRUB can be started through a local disk or network. GRUB data available in http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/

If you want to get started with 0.97. MATERIALS: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/

GURB understands the file system and the kernel format, so you can install any OS without considering the physical location of the kernel on the disk. I think this is different from uboot. That is to say, you can use the file name that supports kernel,
To load the kernel.
