Details:

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.

Follow-up Comment #1:

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:
