[Ilugc] Regarding MBR and bootloader

[Chakkaradeep C C]

hi,

thanks for the links....am coding in Python and i already have code to read
raw physical devices,its just few lines in python :-),
anyway for this "boot" thing,i run "fdisk -l" from python,capture the result
in the array.So i get each output (i.e),device,boot,file-system everything
held in arrays.I had done this way for displaying the partitions and somehow
i forgot that i do have a boot flag there.....but then when i explored my
code, i found that, and within minutes i had the "boot" thing done :D
