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 ?
