! masterboot 1.9 - Master boot block code Author: Kees J. Bot
!
! This code may be placed in the first sector (the boot sector) of a floppy,
! hard disk or hard disk primary partition. There it will perform the
! following actions at boot time:
!
! - If the ALT key is held down, then '/dev/hd?' is typed and you are
! expected to type a number key (0 - 9) to select the device to boot.
!
! - If locked into booting a certain partition, then do so.
!
! - If the booted device is a hard disk and one of the partitions is active
! then the active partition is booted.
!
! - Otherwise the next floppy or hard disk device is booted, trying them one
! by one.
!
! To make things a little clearer, the boot path might be:
! /dev/fd0 - Floppy disk containing data, tries fd1 then hd0
! [/dev/fd1] - Drive empty
! /dev/hd0 - Master boot block, selects active partition 3
! /dev/hd3 - Submaster, selects active subpartition 1
! /dev/hd3a - Minix bootblock, reads secondary boot code /boot
! Minix - Started by secondary boot from /minix
