Comment (by meianoite):
Replying to [comment:13 bonefish]:
> The last parameter is a variable name too, declared as `long long`,
containing the size of the array. It isn't needed when you create a
header, since `sizeof(kBootCode)` works just fine in this case, but if one
creates a source file and references it from other source files, one might
find it handy.
The compiled file generates a 512-byte long binary, of which we must take
only 432 bytes. Is there a facility to clip the file size? I can't really
modify the source to stop at 432 bytes as Anyboot needs the whole file as
a MBR template.

Will do. But that will take a little while. I'm developing remotely over
SSH on a quite limited machine (a Sheevaplug-like device with only 128MB
of RAM) and only checked out the source, not compiled it. Building cross-
tools for x86 took a whole three days. I'll have to find another machine
I can code on.
