Control: retitle -1 ITP: ms-sys -- Program used to write Microsoft-compatible boot records Control: owner -1 !
Hello, From a quick skimming of mbr's manpage, it looks like you need to supply your own MBR for it to flash, which highly decreases the convenience factor since you need to track down the exact MBR that you need to use for the job, at which point you may as well just use dd. ms-sys has a good selection of MBRs and PBRs built in that you can use to build or repair many different operating system images. ms-sys-free also has a similar problem because most of the MBRs that make ms-sys useful are non-free, coming from proprietary Microsoft products. With ms-sys-free, all that's left is Rufus, FreeDOS, and a couple other free options. I've packaged ms-sys at https://salsa.debian.org/benthetechguy/ms-sys. Thanks, -- Ben Westover
