I wonder why doesn't our current linux loader fail gracefuly and tell user
to use linux16. I thought we had code specifically to do this!
if (! (lh.loadflags & GRUB_LINUX_FLAG_BIG_KERNEL))
{
grub_error (GRUB_ERR_BAD_OS, "zImage doesn't support 32-bit boot"
#ifdef GRUB_MACHINE_PCBIOS
" (try with `linux16')"
#endif
);
goto fail;
}
/* FIXME: 2.03 is not always good enough (Linux 2.4 can be 2.03 and
still not support 32-bit boot. */
if (lh.header != grub_cpu_to_le32 (GRUB_LINUX_MAGIC_SIGNATURE)
|| grub_le_to_cpu16 (lh.version) < 0x0203)
{
grub_error (GRUB_ERR_BAD_OS, "version too old for 32-bit boot"
#ifdef GRUB_MACHINE_PCBIOS
" (try with `linux16')"
#endif
);
goto fail;
}

still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
