Building an image that can be written to disk

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello  from Gregg C Levine
I have, I hope, a relatively simple question to ask. How are the images
created, that are stored on the ftp server. On it I find them arranged
thusly, and I am quoting here from the README that was created for an
earlier version of GRUB:
grub-VERSION.tar.gz      ... a source tarball
grub-VERSION-ARCH.ext2fs ... a bootable filesystem image
grub-VERSION-ARCH.tar.gz ... a tarball of the image contents

It then gives instructions upon how to write it to disk, and thence what
else to do, there. However, I am constructing a kernel for testing an
operating system that is designed to be booted, using GRUB, and I would
like to have some idea of where to go from here. Or there.
