    Wikipedia's GRUB entry has a good overview of how the GRUB boot process works here.

    For the differances in GRUB 2 the Ubuntu Help entry is pretty thorough.

  2. The upstream GRUB manual has a section on the various image files, including a discussion of the differences between GRUB Legacy and GRUB 2.
