Grub: Does it allow for modularized kernel fs

2001-06-09 Thread Otto Wyss
Does anyone know if the fs in Grub allows the kernel to load his necessary fs as modules? I.e. if Grub contains a an ext2 fs, can the kernel load modules from this file system even if the ext2 fs isn't compiled into the kernel? Or since the fs in Grub probably also needs the corresponding drivers
