It's not really an a.out file, but it contains section information in the multiboot header that allows it to to be loadded successfully. Normally, this feature is used to load a.out file in a platform independent way, as the a.out header is not quite reliable. In the case of core.img, there is no a.out header at all, but the section information is inside the multiboot header. -- Bean _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
