Comment (by pulkomandy):

 Right, writembr sounds like it would work. Not sure makebootable would
 work in the current state as it's designed to write the partition boot
 record, not the master boot record.

 And after checking it looks like the partitionning system does reference
 it already. The "no bootable active volume" comes from there. So that part
 is actually working. (sorry, a bit of lack of sleep this week).

 The problem is then that the partition is not active. We should
 automatically check the checkbox when creating the first partition on a
 volume in that case.
