is this code intended to be portable, or #if #cpu(i386) ?
if its meant to be portable note that not all archs can boot from a
boot sector, most powerpcs for example require an 800K bootstrap
partition where the bootblocks are installed, depending on the subarch
this will be a Apple_Bootstrap type (macs, mac partition tables) or
0x41 (PReP, IBM CHRP, msdos partition tables).
ia64 also requires a similar bootstrap partition.
