It is possible if the stage2 relocates itself right after being
started, but I don't recommend such a change.

The reason why your Stage 1.5 is so big is that you use a generic
library with GRUB, isn't it? I don't like that approach, as it could
bloat GRUB unnecessarily. In your previous mail, you didn't answer my
question, so I'd ask the same question once again: Why don't you
modify our implemenatation to support Reiser4?
