Instead you get a bootloader which encodes some magic values in the first sectors of the hard drive which fails spectacularily once the underlying disk geometry changes just a little bit. I spent a handful of minutes last week moving a Fedora from one machine into a quite different one (dd-copying the hard disks over), and the system booted immediately. I then spent one and a half days getting a Windows 2000 image (from a running system) to work under qemu, because qemu assumed a slightly different disk geometry and the windows bootloader exploded. I'll take the boot partition. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
