From: Jean-Christian de Rivaz <jc at eclis.ch>

I suspect that some instructions about how to use the diag/mbr was not
updated when the source file was renamed to handoff.S. Here is a simple
proposition to fix that.

 Writing out an MBR is straight forward (it is assumed below that /dev/hda is the target raw device and /dev/hda1 is the target partition):
 
-  dd conv=notrunc bs=440 count=1 if=mbr.bin of=/dev/hda
+  dd conv=notrunc bs=440 count=1 if=handoff.bin of=/dev/hda
 
 Writing a VBR to match Syslinux requires more work as it must have a jump and be offset into the partition:
 
   echo -en "\0353\0130\0220" |dd conv=notrunc bs=1 count=3 of=/dev/hda1
-  dd conv=notrunc bs=2 count=210 seek=45 if=mbr.bin of=/dev/hda1
