There was an unofficial patch for Linux to boot Linux as a Multiboot
kernel, but it didn't support such a feature as you mentioned here.
IIRC, there was also an unofficial patch for GRUB to load Linux
modules, using romfs. I'm not sure where I saw it, though. Anyway, in
my impression, Linux should have explicit support for loading multiple
modules. I didn't think it was a Right Thing for GRUB to have a hack
to load Linux modules into romfs.
