a developer says

some of the bootsectors having been pretty much just disassembled from
MS's. Is this true?"
The answer comes from an other developer

"crashfourit has posted a patch here:"
That means, that it is possible, that MS-bootsector-code have
found the way
in ROS, if I understood it right.
This code hasn't been audited yet. It's possible that parts of the
bootsector have been derrived from an MS dissasembly. The audit will reveal
the answer, and it will be rewritten if nessesary.

Brian in his commit message of freeloader said he used disassmebly.
However, Jerry has written a new bootsector that will work and can be
dropped into ROS at any time.
