I am old, a bit numb/dumb (reason INTEL ousted me, good reasoning, don't
you think?), so this is why I did reply to this email in the first place...
To learn something tangible. I am looking forward for people to couch/teach
me.

Besides, seems that you, Nico, missing something important in your personal
integration: reading/listening skills. You even did not bother to read my
entire email (typical FLMs and SLMs behavior in INTEL). ;-)

What about my question #1: *[1: For general Coreboot population] After
having Tiano Core payload executed, how Tiano Core is linked with the next
booting phase: GRUB2?*

So your answer/question is kinda perfect, I should say. I am also looking
forward to the answer you did formulate (since you did not bother to read
mine).

In other words, I am also after this question: How Tiano Core should
look/what is the mechanism to get to the GRUB2?

(I need to learn Chinese, really I do, maybe I'll make/express myself more
clear) :-))

Thank you,
Zoran
