Find location of GRUB2/Multiboot 'module' (aka initrd)

I am working on an OS, and need to load an INITRD (grub command "module") and can't find info on where (in RAM) the module is loaded to

Does grub have a way of telling me or is it a fixed address or none of the above? Any help would be appreciated

This information is passed to the OS as part of the multiboot information structure data.

Although if you're working on a new OS, you may want to follow the (incompatible) Multiboot2 specification (using grub commands multiboot2/module2) instead.
