I think we need to list up what information must be passed by a boot loader on every architecture and each architecture first. I made two new pages on the wiki: http://www.autistici.org/grub/moin.cgi/MultibootRequirements http://www.autistici.org/grub/moin.cgi/MultibootIdeas Feel free to edit these pages. I think some survey is required. It would be worth checking how existing systems deal with each architecture (such as Linux, NetBSD and L4KA). Okuji
