very recent trunk builds appear to be multiboot-compatible indeed. 
MBOOT.C32's built-in Gzip decompression ability makes life a lot easier 
by reducing FreeLDR.SYS from 340KB to 130KB, leaving a nice amount of 
free diskspace on bootdisk. It also means I can get rid of the 
bootsector I used (freeldr.bss) and the 16KB sector size, thus returning 
to normal floppy geometry/layout.

So all in all: thanks!
