You should read the multiboot specification:
http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/boot-proposal.html
When you load a module from a multiboot loader, it dumps the module binary
somewhere in memory and passes the relevant addresses through the multiboot
configuration structure. You'll have to write code to interpet this structure,
and to parse the binaries using OSKit's ELF interpeter.
