[newbie] Boot record

2004-11-05 Thread Marc
On a ML installation when it gets to the part about where to put the boot record the first sector is one of the options. How would this affect how the machine boots? What would be the reason to use the root partision for the boot instead of the first sector of the MBR or a floppy?
