GRUB boot messages

Hiya all,

I'm trying to ferret out the messages displayed by GRUB during boot.
Couldn't find a GRUB (or GNU) specific newsgroup so this is my best
guess as to where to post.

I know what the GRUB -error- messages are and where to look them up,
if necessary. I'm concerned with the following message, for example:

---code---
root (fd0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, using whole disk
kernel /unix
[Multiboot-elf, <0x100000:0x8c:0x0>, <0x100090:0x77e:0x0>,
<0x101000:0x56:0x26f6>, shtab=0x104168, entry=0xc010074c]
---/code---

The first three lines are obvious: root is on fd0, the filesystem is
type ext2, kernel is /unix. I know I compiled my kernel as elf32-
i386. It's the group of three hex data, shtab, and entry that has me
befuddled. The hex shows no clues as to what the represent, I have no
idea what shtab means, and -which- entry is at 0xc010074c.

FWIW I'm working on a kernel project and this is what GRUB spits out
when I boot. The CPU triple-faults immediately thereafter and I'm
hoping that these GRUB codes mean something in that context, but what
do they mean?

Thanks for any help or pointer in a direction.
