Mark, The lilo and fdisk code, as painful as it is, pretty well documents the PC partition table interface and has source code for an MBR to boot typical partitions from a partition table. I have heard "The Undocumented PC" might contain this information as well, but I don't have that specific book. Might check at a library. Good luck!
