You might want to look at the link:

http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-2.en.html#multiboot

on the page:

http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/

This is what punked me.

Then you didn't look at all the Multiboot specifications links on the Wiki frontpage
http://grub.enbug.org/MultibootDraft

Setting duplicate because Multiboot2 is already a task:

Hi,

In the source code there's apparently a new multiboot2 flavor with its own magic numbers and everything.  But I've looked through the Wiki and really can't find anything which says what the new multiboot is, what it does, and how to use it--the only Multiboot specification I came across was for the old flavor.
