The current status of it are exactly what you found out. I don't know if that'll ever change. > Could anyone give me any pointers/direction on what might be happening > here?

So basically rootnoverify is default now. chainloader --force just skips the check for 0xaa55, normally it shouldn't be needed with a valid windows bootsector. -- Felix Zielcke
