partitioned devices. Right?

The problem is that boot_hybrid.img does not know about partition
information that is passed to it by syslinux using method specific to
syslinux.

The only syslinux code in my example is mbr.bin that is a generic MBR binary code to boot from the first partition which has the bootable flag. In those steps we can avoid writing syslinux's mbr.bin into /dev/loop0 and using install-mbr binary, which isn't related to syslinux and provides the same
functionality, coded in a different way.

isolinux hybrid -partok- images (like SLAX, Debian, ...) works if MBR code is the one provided by syslinux (mbr.bin)
but also if the MBR code on the disk is installed by 'install-mbr'.
