Syslinux - May 2012 - [PATCH] Update diag/mbr instruction to match the current filename.

From: Jean-Christian de Rivaz <jc at eclis.ch>

I suspect that some instructions about how to use the diag/mbr was not
updated when the source file was renamed to handoff.S. Here is a simple
proposition to fix that.

 Writing out an MBR is straight forward (it is assumed below that /dev/hda is
the target raw device and /dev/hda1 is the target partition):

 Writing a VBR to match Syslinux requires more work as it must have a jump and
be offset into the partition:

Nack.  This section of README is _not_ specific to handoff.bin.  I use as a
generic name of an MBR.

Ack.  I did rename it during development.  Thanks!

Jean-Christian, I'll prepare this patch with you as author and signoff on
it unless you'd rather make it fetchable.

I suspect that some instructions about how to use the diag/mbr was not
updated when the source file was renamed to handoff.S. Here is a simple
proposition to fix that only into the handoff.S file.
