Subject: [PATCH] boot-directdisk: ensure generated MBR disk signature is non-zero
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2013 11:30:10 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1380245410-11696-1-git-send-email-net147@gmail.com> (raw)
A zero MBR disk signature is generally seen as no signature and
another partitioning program might install a new signature.
