I have put some diffs to boot(8) at:

They add a 'multiboot' command to allow Xen to be loaded without
needing Grub.

A review would be welcome before I commit them.
There is too much duplicated code in stand/lib/exec.c. Can you make some of
it common?

And also fix the issue with dom0_mem being ignored if there isn't a dummy
parameter before it ...

I dont know why but I with the latest patch I can see following text when I boot my computer:
Fn: diskn

Then I press enter and it jumps right to the boot menu.

P.S I used to use grub before and I did not test any former patches.
