  Is LBA support so diffcult? I don't know LBA well, so I'm just
asking.

  I see. I prefer using stage1.5. I have already implemented
self-loading stage2, but I'll discard it and make e2fs_stage1_5
useful. Some days ago, I wrote a test program to install a boot loader
in the boot loader inode, so that will not take much time.

Thanks,
