Info docs on the Multiboot specification
A medium or long-term project: I'm trying to make Grub able to boot floppy images stored in a HD; maybe it is just a matter of writing a simple multiboot-compliant program that will take the floppy image as a module (search for "the `mods' field" here) and then treat the data in the module as a floppy image freshly-read from a bootable (="El Torito") CD; most OSs let their installation floppies be placed in El Torito CDs, so this will give us a better way to install new OSs, as floppies almost always have bad sectors (at least on my drive!), burning CDs is expensive (you need a burner plus the media), and ordering CDs can be expensive too, as CheapBytes and similar companies can't ship NetBSD and OpenBSD outside the US.
