+; Simple Master Boot Record, including support for EBIOS extensions.
+;
+; The MBR lives in front of the boot sector, and is responsible for
+; loading the boot sector of the active partition. The EBIOS support
+; is needed if the active partition starts beyond cylinder 1024.
+;
+; This MBR determines all geometry info at runtime. It uses only the
+; linear block field in the partition table. It does, however, pass
+; the partition table information unchanged to the target OS.
+;
+; This MBR should be "8086-clean", i.e. not require a 386.
+;
+
+%include "bios.inc"
+
+;
+; Note: The MBR is actually loaded at 0:7C00h, but we quickly move it down to
+; 0600h.
