What about "grubkernel" and "grub"? Or "grub.raw" and "grub"? I'd like 
to try to stay within 8.3 naming for all files, since people will be 
deploying the end result on FAT filesystems.

I was just bit by this issue myself, when I tried to run "grubof" 
without any modules. :) Unfortunately, because the module memory wasn't 
even mapped, when I tried to check the magic number I just ended up 
crashing my crappy Open Firmware. :( Need to come up with a better 
solution for that...
