We wrote a patch to add multiboot support to kexec (that's how
Xenoboot works).  It was submitted to the kexec maintainer, but I
don't know whether it was accepted or not.

One tool that might be useful is something to take an image (and
one or more modules) and roll it into something that looks like a
static multiboot layout, then wrap it to look line a linux
kernel.

It's a shame that multiboot hasn't been more widely adopted. 

Ron, what environment does linuxbios start kernels in?

Thanks,
Ian
