Is anybody else as confused as I am? How in the world can you have a *boot manager* ported to cygwin? Cygwin requires the host Windows OS to be up and running; it has nothing to do with pre-OS bootloader operations...
Unless I'm really missing something here, I don't think this is an appropriate candidate for the cygwin distro -- but I'm open to persuasion if somebody can kindly explain how cygwin-grub2 could POSSIBLY be of any use at all...
