=== Setup in a Multiboot-compliant kernel ===
If you are using a [[Multiboot]]-compliant kernel, then most of the job is already performed by your bootloader (e.g. [[GRUB]]). All you have to do is tell GRUB to load it along with your kernel, as a [[Multiboot]] module (for GRUB, the setting is found in ''menu.lst'' for GRUB Legacy, or ''grub.cfg'' for GRUB2), and use the [[Multiboot]] structure to find where it has been loaded.
A GRUB legacy script would look similar to this:
<pre>
title MyOS
root (fd0)
kernel /boot/kernel.bin
module /boot/initrd.bin
</pre>
=== Setup in custom-booted kernels ===
