Chen: In grub command line, you can edit the configre (even mistaken), so maybe it will not be worth to add an edit in grub.
I do not mean the configure of Grub menu list, but the config files of the OS, like *boot.ini* of Windows and *inittab* of Linux. An option to set the start address for grub to load multiboot module is
great. This option will make kernel guys (who use multiboot modules) to initiate the kernel more easy. I remember a branch of grub for L4 kernel supports this option, maybe it can be a reference if you are interested in.
I know this approach, however, instead of an option, they add a new command *modaddr*. A limitation is that all modules after the "*modaddr* *value*" will be loaded in succession to a overriding address below address *value*. Best regards.
