The "blessing" is a combination of two things:
- The directory ID of the "blessed" folder is written somewhere in the
disk catalog (I think in the MDB, I don't remember for sure)
- Valid boot blocs are written to bloc 0 and 1 of the volume
OF may still be able to boot if the bootblocs are not present (but miBoot
can't).
