...?
The boot loader itself can't really be hardened in the same way as
typical runtime code under a kernel (such as Linux). Remember, we
typically start in 16-bit real mode at address CS:IP 0x0000:0x7C00,
prepare an environment then switch to something more like protected
mode. The boot loader _installers_ should be safe with the hardening.
