Sounds okay if you only want the MBR code and not the partition
table, but of course you also zap the 55 aa "this is bootable"
sign at the end with this masking. Good intention bad result...
Especially bad result for people who think that backing up
their MBR would also backup the beginning of their partition
table, of course. So I suggest to stop masking :-)
