Thanks. Could you send me a pointer to current multiboot2 protocol docs?

On first sight it looks quite nice. However, as I know Solaris guys
prepared similar solution. I am not sure it was discussed with GRUB2

do not break existing solution if it is possible.
I will try to get more details about Solaris implementation.
