kMasterBootRecord(program) v1.0(beta)
-------------------------------
Features:
-small
-prepared for kBootManager
Written mainly to provide me with an automatic loader for the kBootManager,
though it works perfectly on its own.
The reason for making it small is that kBootManager is designed to have
partition-names in all partitiontable-sectors (MBR included). That leaves me
with 394 bytes to use since the partition-name entries starts at offset 394.
To make it small there is no fancy errormessages - they normaly consumes
most of the aviable space. There is no error checking of the parititiontable,
ie. there may be more than one partition active, the first one of the them
will be booted. (Signature in partition bootsector is checked though.)
There are two ways of starting bootmanager, either automatic or by holding
any of the SHIFT-keys down during startup.
