Except in my case the bootloader loads NTLDR which then needs to load code
from a file on the disk which then loads code off a different disk.

Using the new bootstrap system: with pbr.S 1.3, my partition table patch
and a judicious "movb $0x82, %dl", it boots my overloaded MBR/PBR fine from
my SCSI system (with hd2a: which later becomes sd3a: after bootup)

Thanks,
