I think it's here: src/apps/bootmanager/bootman.S
...
I guess this code is used not only by BootManager,
but I'm not sure who/where else.
bootman.S is used when you install the BootManager into the MBR (and the 3
following sectors).
I'm looking for the generic boot code that load and run the first sector of
the active partition.
the one modified from a "FreeBSD pmbr"

NB :
If I understand correctly, we have the choice between 2 boot sequences :
1* - BIOS -> standard MBR -> partition boot record (stage1.S) -> stage2
osLoader ( Haiku_loader)
2° - BIOS -> BootMan's MBR (bootman.S) -> Haiku_loader
* the first one is used in the anyboot image, and is also written by the
DiskManager when you install a Intel partitioning system on a blank disk.
