The biosboot file (found in /usr/mdec/biosboot of either the ramdisk kernel or a default install) is the PBR which is placed in the first sector of the partition. The boot file (found in /usr/mdec/biosboot of either the ramdisk kernel or a default install, or in /boot in a default install) is the second stage bootloader program. As far as I know, there is no "/biosboot" file in a standard install, so the "/mnt/biosboot" will not work.
