I tried, but it doesn't. In fact, Linux doesn't use multiboot, but its own boot protocol; that's why there are grub commands and variables made especially for it. > before grub-mkconfig...

I can boot from the cdrom and have a working console if I choose "Legacy BIOS" in the bios options. But I couldn't install Debian GNU/Linux this way, if I recall correctly, so now I'm trying to keep uefi. > It is when I try to use the module command after the multiboot2 > command that I get "error: you need to load the kernel first.". I got the same response after trying "module /hurd/ext2fs.static". Maybe "multiboot2" loading fails silently. Alas, grub2 messages are very terse or absent, even when I "set debug=all". Maybe mb2 implementation is incomplete. I also tried removing all tags - mb2 info, flags and module alignment, but not the closing tag - but nothing changed, could you please try it too Samuel?
