already uses this syntax, changing its behavior risks the stability of
a system. I see the use case for exporting the boot sector to a file
instead of the VBR as demonstrated in this discussion.

Interaction with Windows bootloader
Good afternoon all! I have a project I'm working on that requires
Linux to be installed either to its own partition, or to the partition
of a host OS (Windows or Linux). One way works, the other way does
not...
Use Case 1:
In this scenario, Linux is installed to its *own* partition as is
syslinux (syslinux -i /path/to/syslinux/files). Afterwards, I 'dd'
the first 512bytes of that
