This is a fix for the previous patch, I've renamed the port from grub2 to grub and fixed an issue with unicode fonts, now grub should work correctly. (62.14 KB, patch)

Diff file containing the new port

GNU GRUB is a multiboot boot loader.  It was derived from GRUB, the GRand
Unified Bootloader, which was originally designed and implemented by Erich
Stefan Boleyn.

The port installs the GRUB tools and programs but it does NOT install GRUB as the current bootloader, for that, the grub-install command must be used.

So far, only efi target works so it defaults to it, I'll try to fix also the regular BIOS target and add efi as an option

Hi Lorenzo,

Please, could you provide one single patch instead of having to apply two patches in a row?

Thanks
