Add BIOS Boot Partition support for sparc64 platforms. This will work a
little different than x86. With GPT, both the OBP "load" and "boot" commands
are partition aware and neither command can see the partition table. Therefore
the entire boot-loader is stored within the BIOS Boot Partition and nothing
is stored within the bootstrap code area of MBR.
To use it, the end user will issue the boot command with the path pointing to
the BIOS Boot Partition.
For example with the disk below:
Model: Unknown (unknown)
Disk /dev/nvme1n1: 1600GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 1075MB 1074MB ext3
2 1075MB 1076MB 1049kB bios_grub
3 1076MB 1600GB 1599GB lvm
To boot grub2 from OBP, you would use:
boot /pci@302/pci@1/pci@0/pci@13/nvme@0/disk@1:b
