Hi folks,
Below you can find a tiny patch to add 2 new targets to the top level
Makefile: bzgrub and zgrub. This is a suggestion about how the Grub
boot loader could be supported.
It would be nice if you could consider this patch to be included in
one of the future kernels. I am not the kernel patch specialist, so
please excuse if I missed to follow a specific procedure.
Regards
Harri
