Perfect, i was confused, i though that, like the linux kernel, it would be the
kernel who would know about that.

multiboot also contains the elf-linker, which will load the unix kernel from
the ramdisk, as well as all NEEDED files, right ? 

Those files are not loaded by multiboot itself, but multiboot takes adevantage
of the underlying level (grub2 in the x86 case) to load the ufs or iso files
during this loading phase, right ?
