Comment (by bonefish):
Replying to [comment:14 meianoite]:
> 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?
In place: `truncate`, copy: `dd`
> I can't really modify the source to stop at 432 bytes as Anyboot needs
the whole file as a MBR template.
It's not like the `anyboot` tool is closed source and couldn't be
adjusted.
