Hi,
    In grub boot loader, stage1 gets the drive paramaters , does some
iniitalization and jumps to stage2.
It gets to know the absolute address of stage2. This information is present
in stage1 code.
After this what does stage2 do? I believe in order to load the kerken stage2
looks at /boot/bzImage file.
This means that stage2 is aware of the file sytem?? Is it??
Can someone explain this process??

Thanks and Merry Christmas
Uday
