Subject: boot.S vs diskboot.S
Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 11:27:43 -0500 [thread overview]

What is the difference between these two files? It looks like boot.S
contains a BPB and is meant to be used when installing grub to the
partition boot sector of a FAT or NTFS partition, and diskboot.S does
not, and is meant to be used as the MBR. It looks like boot.S is used
in the MBR anyway though.
