Details:

Version 1.97 beta 4.

If I have a Multiboot OS image on a non-filesystem block device, I need to
boot it with:

multiboot= (hd0,1)8+700

GRUB simply returns another command prompt; no complaint, and no image
loaded.  I have verified that the multiboot module is indeed present in this
environment.

Then it should work

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #27863 (project grub):

Thanks here too.  Without the "=" it just quietly returns a prompt (just like
with the "=").  But, in fact, on a whim I tried "boot" and it had indeed
loaded in the bits.  I don't know if it's intended that a kernel load in CLI
mode should be absolutely silent, but it works so I'm happy.
