    _______________________________________________________

Details:

On both bzr trunk and 1.98 Debian on i386 on my machine with Intel 440BX
chipset, I can load a multiboot image such as memtest86+_multiboot.bin or
GRUB's core.img using the multiboot command, but on typing boot and hitting
enter, my machine does a hardware reboot. Running the same programs under qemu
results in the programs successfully running.
