;
; pbr.s -- the partition boot record
;
 
; Runtime environment:
;
; This code must be loaded and started at 0xC0010000.
; It allocates a stack from 0xC0011000 downwards. So
; it must run within 4K (code + data + stack).
;
; This code expects the disk number of the boot disk
; in $16, the start sector of the disk or partition
; to be booted in $17 and its size in $18.
;
; NOTE: THIS IS A FAKE PARTITION BOOT RECORD!
;       It doesn't load anything, but displays a message
;       where the real thing can be downloaded from.
