Thanks for the advice, but I have a few questions (please excuse any that appear really 'newby') - What GRUB command(s) would I use to load & run the image - How do I specify where in memory the file is loaded? - Is there a 'quick and dirty' document on how to create a multiboot header which GRUB can load?
