This patch introduces extra functionality to chain.c, mainly with reference to BPB adjustments, but not only that. It expects 3 small patches I sent earlier (they are included for easy reference, patches 1-3/4). The changes introduced are: 1) file and boot sector use separate options to control load address and jump address (if applicable). Options are as described below: *

This is a bit updated set of chain.c32 changes that simplifies a few things (and in partiter part), fixes few minor issues and adds a few new features. Details are in the following commits, below is the summary and pull details at the end. Shao - any chance to peek over them ? Most of those are relatively simple changes and well tested, though of course something might have slipped my attention.
