Please do. Alternatively (or, even better), you could send a link to 
original documentation about your boot loader.

About additional possibilities, there are 2 KERNEL-like directives for 
boot sectors files (IIRC, valid for SYSLINUX only, but I could be 
misremembering):

LABEL asbootsector
BS yourbootsectorfile

LABEL as_doslike_bootsector
BSS yourbootsetorfile

Similarly, chain.c32 also accepts bs/bss options. For example:

LABEL chain_to_bs_in_same_boot_partition
COM32 chain.c32
APPEND boot bs=yourbootsectorfile

There are additional options for chain.c32 (see the 2 wiki pages about 
it).
