#### Linux program for writing Microsoft compatible boot records

This is a Linux program for writing Microsoft compatible boot
records. The program does the same as Microsoft "fdisk /mbr" to a
hard disk or "sys d:" to a floppy or FAT partition except that it
does not copy any system files, only the boot record is written.
