Well, I was referring to the ELF magic number rather than the multiboot
magic number. I'll probably check the first unc

I think there are 2 ways :

IANA mac guru, but the OF in Old Worlds (OF 1.0.5) has support for
reading from block devices, parsing *some* filesystems (this but is
pretty crippled - for example, no fragmentation can occur on a FAT
floppy, because it just loads data linearly). It can boot from a
partition 0 boot block (
Can OpenBoot directly boot ELF or COFF images? I looked at SILO and
it seems it uses a 512-byte boot block to load second stage etc.

Hi,
The GRUB wiki is down. We talked a bit about moving the wiki on IRC.
Did someone find a good host for the wiki already?
Another problem is the data, is it still available some way so we can
restore the wiki if we found a new host?
Thanks,
Marco
