Here's the documentation from my mbr-diag.S source submitted to syslinux
upstream:
Due to the severe space constraints the output uses 1-character description
codes to prefix each printed value.
Values are in hexadecimal.
Description Codes:
L | C LBA or CHS addressing mode
D drive number BIOS-reported drive number
C cylinders Geometry of drive according to BIOS
H heads
S sectors
P partition active partition number (first
partition flagged active). '?' if no active partition
O offset absolute sector offset of active
partition . '????????' if no active partition
M magic magic bytes of active partition boot
sector (sector <offset> as read by BIOS).
'????' if no active partition.
Value is reset to 0xDEAD before the sector is read
to avoid inheriting the MBR
magic on error
E error error code returned by BIOS 'read
sector' interrupt (0x02 or 0x42, int 0x13).
'??' if no active partition.
