Are you saying many x86 Bios do not run the "master boot code" of the "master boot record" i.e. the x86 instruction at offset 0 of Lba 0? Instead these Bios parse the partition table themselves? Or they parse first and run the code later? Just curious, while stunningly ignorant, hope that's ok. Pat LaVarre P.S.
