Syslinux - Oct 2013 - VBR conflicts filesystem?

For a bootable usb drive, syslinux seems use MBR and VBR to find vmlinuz
and ramdisk. And VBR stays in the first sector of partition, 63rd for
example. So does VBR conflicts the filesystem on partition?

The first sector of a partition can be almost any sector of the disk.

No, it does not (at least not with filesystems supported by Syslinux).

In my usb drive with EXT3 filesystem in /dev/sda1 partition, syslinux uses
the first sector on /dev/sda1 but EXT3 filesystem doesn't?
