That's very interesting.
I was planning to add support for "GRUB executables"
One of them would be generated by a modified isapnp from isapnp.conf
I don't want to embed a bison parser into GRUB. It is much easier to
generate i386 code that just writes to the ports.
Another executable could load Russian (or Japanese?) font.
It is necessary because 99.9 % video cards sold in Russia don't have
a Russian font in BIOS and the remaining 0.01% use CP-866 that is
incompatible with Koi8-r used on Linux and *BSD.
I think I should stop until the format for "GRUB executables" is
negotiated.
By the way, can a Multiboot kernel just "return" to the bootloader?
This would be the simplest solution.
