yes. multiboot support went in a few months ago and we can, for example, load vmware esxi.
I wonder why you would want to chainload grub, however, instead of using u-root programs that read grub config files and do the boot directly? There are reasons to use grub, of course, but I was curious about your specific reason.
thanks

Hi,
It is possible through u-root support for multiboot images [1] to chainload grub?

Greetings,
From what I can find, Linux can only chainload another linux kernel. (via kexec) Does this mean that a Linux payload like LinuxBoot cannot be used to boot Windows or another OS, either directly or by chainloading another payload from CBFS?
It's nice that a Linux payload can provide superior flexibility and configurability than UEFI with the added benefit of a battle-hardened environment, but the ability to only boot a Linux OS seems like a pretty significant limitation (if this is indeed the case).
