Comment (by pulkomandy):
How would the BIOS do this? The BIOS first runs the disk MBR, which
chainloads into our partition boot record. So it's up to the MBR to
include the info or not.
You are right, modern PCs do this,however, it's called UEFI, and it avoids
most of this mess and allows jumping directly into stage2. Should we waste
time on "modern bios, but not UEFI" kind of machines? Is it worth the
effort?
