That is really nice to hear. At the moment I am thinking about changing
the multiboot protocol, or writing multiboot v2 or so. At the moment
multiboot is PC only, GRUB will be ported to other architectures, GNU/Hurd
will and we need multiboot support on those architectures as well.
(Don't take this as something official, we still need to discuss this more)
I will work on this during my summer vacation. Of course I will discuss that
on this list, help will be welcome.
But you can start using multiboot right away, GRUB will continue to have
multiboot support (AFAIK).

It would be nice to know what the differences are compared to the UFS as it
is used by BSD. It would be useful to have some documentation about this
and a test filesystem. If you can send me that, it will help me a lot.
Thanks,
Marco
