| |
Hello guys,
Just a suggestion: would it not be nice to have a 0xAA55 signature at the end of the bootsector (NOT an MBR!) of the Linux root partition so that commercial bootloaders (e.g. the one that comes with UnixWare 7) could load it just as easily as they load dos/windows stuff instead of giving "Missing operating system" error?
Btw, just to confirm, am I right in assuming that LILO does put AA55 signature at the end of bootsector if installed in a partition instead of an MBR?
Any comments?
