It does, but you have to "connect the dots". The chainloader says it
loads a file, and says you can grab the first sector of the current
partition with `+1'. Then in Naming Conventions, it say you can use
the form "(hd0,0)/vmlinuz" for a file name. But it leaves it to you
to make the connection that you can use that format in the
chainloader command, even though it give the command format as
"chainloader [`--force'] file".
