grub: linux16
16.3.39 linux16
---------------
-- Command: linux16 file ...
Load a Linux kernel image from FILE in 16-bit mode. The rest of
the line is passed verbatim as the "kernel command-line". Any
initrd must be reloaded after using this command (⇒
initrd16).
The kernel will be booted using the traditional 16-bit boot
protocol. As well as bypassing problems with 'vga=' described in
⇒linux, this permits booting some other programs that
implement the Linux boot protocol for the sake of convenience.
This command is only available on x86 systems.
