; NOTE: I build this with:
; $ as86 -b /dev/stdout mbr.s | hexdump -e '8/1 "0x%02x, " "\n"'
;
; The build isn't done automagically by make, because as86 may not be on many
; machines (particularly non-x86). Also, it seems rather difficult to get
; as86 to build object files that can be linked, especially as it's 16 bit
; code...
