That's a good start, thanks. From what I see, dboot plays the os kernel part as 
seen by a multiboot-compliant loader. It has the multiboot header and it 
transfers control to something else (the real kernel, perhaps?). However I 
couldn't go any further. Any hints? For once, from the usual /platform/.../unix 
grub menu.lst entries I deduce that unix is the os kernel to be loaded by grub, 
but as dboot is what grub really understands, then dboot must somehow be 
embedded into unix, right? Where should I look for the connection between dboot 
and unix?
