Right, but I don't think it's needed, since:
>>> dd if=/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin of={/dev to root drive}
this will also overwrite the first 446 bytes, again. (There's no skip=
or seek= option, and if there was one, it would be wrong. You *need* to
re-overwrite these bytes if you're going to replace the code part of the
MBR.)
No point in zeroing out something that's about to be written to again
anyway, right? :-)
