Please help me understand how installboot is doing its job. I can try
to take bits from bootxx_ext2fs and push it on the right places onto the
ext2 file-system with dd if/skip of/seek.
I am going out on a limb here, but what installboot does is (1) install
bootxx_*fs as PBR (mbr partition boot record), and (2) patch the
location (sector offset, presumably?) of /boot into the PBR code.
I would think this is fs agnostic?
