Thanks for the suggestion. However, we very deliberately don't do it
the way you suggest, because it would mean the boot loader would too
easily be broken by perfectly legitimate internal rearrangements
performed by the file system. For example, a file system might quite
reasonably move the physical locations of files during fsck, and we
don't want that kind of thing to require updating the parts of the boot
loader in the MBR. A dedicated partition is much more robust.
